Tailoring the Mechanical and Functional Properties of Lupin Protein Films by pH Manipulation, Acetic Acid, and Ultrasonic Treatment
The ability of proteins to self-assemble into ordered structures is a key feature in nature to produce highly functional biomacromolecules. This spontaneous organization of polypeptides can be utilized in technology to develop environment-friendly, protein-based bioplastic films with enhanced properties from various proteins. This study focuses on tailoring the mechanical and functional properties of solvent-cast films by pH value manipulation (10, 7, 2), acetic acid treatment, and ultrasonication of heated (85 °C, 30 min) solutions of lupin protein isolate (LPI). A combination of acetic acid and ultrasonic treatment yielded LPI films that exhibited increased tensile strengths of 6.8 ± 0.4 MPa, Young’s moduli of 270 ± 18 MPa, and works of fracture of 4.4 ± 0.5 MPa, together with high optical transmissions and water stability compared to the other investigated films. Structural investigations indicated the formation of self-assembled protein nanostructures with an increased fraction of β-sheets. Small-angle X-ray scattering investigations were performed to gain insights into the nanostructural evolution of protein aggregates from LPI during the evaporation of water.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Polymers and the Environment fills the need for an international forum in this diverse and rapidly expanding field. The journal serves a crucial role for the publication of information from a wide range of disciplines and is a central outlet for the publication of high-quality peer-reviewed original papers, review articles and short communications. The journal is intentionally interdisciplinary in regard to contributions and covers the following subjects - polymers, environmentally degradable polymers, and degradation pathways: biological, photochemical, oxidative and hydrolytic; new environmental materials: derived by chemical and biosynthetic routes; environmental blends and composites; developments in processing and reactive processing of environmental polymers; characterization of environmental materials: mechanical, physical, thermal, rheological, morphological, and others; recyclable polymers and plastics recycling environmental testing: in-laboratory simulations, outdoor exposures, and standardization of methodologies; environmental fate: end products and intermediates of biodegradation; microbiology and enzymology of polymer biodegradation; solid-waste management and public legislation specific to environmental polymers; and other related topics.
