Novel polyvinyl alcohol/chitin-glucan films with improved tensile strength and fast water absorption
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films have been widely used in industries but they have limited water absorption and tensile strength. Chitin-glucan (CG), is a natural biopolymer with a 3D network structure capable of retaining large amounts of water. In this research, CG obtained from Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast was added into PVA films to enhance the water absorption and tensile strength. The results showed that by addition of 2% CG micro/nano particles, the tensile strength was highly improved (from 1.4 MPa for PVA film to 5.4 MPa for PVA/CG2% film) while 1, 1.5 and 3% CG had a lower effect on the tensile strength. The degree of swelling for PVA/CG 2% film was also increased to from 175% for PVA film to 310% for PVA/CG2% film. The swelling behavior curves showed a faster water absorption rate for PVA/CG films. Results of this research, enlightens the promising role of CG micro/nano particles in enhancing the mechanical properties and water absorption of PVA films.
