Radiation induced biodegradable polymer blends for growth promotion of corn plants
A series of polymer blends based on plasticized starch (PLST), poly(vinyl alcohol), alginic acid (AG), and chitosan (CS) were prepared by solution casting. The different blends were exposed to electron beam irradiation to different doses to form hydrogels. The blends before and after electron beam irradiation were characterized in terms of gel fraction (%), swelling in water (%), FTIR spectroscopic analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and rheological measurements. As a practical application in the field agriculture, the hydrogels were used as growth promotion of corn plants. The results showed that the gel fraction was increases by increasing the ratio of PVA in the blends and was decreased by the addition of AG or CS due to the occurrence of degradation. On the other hand, opposite results was found in swelling in water. The corn plant growth indicated an improvement in corn plant height in presence of CS or AG polymers in starch (PLST), poly(vinyl alcohol) blends also, more improvement in corn plant heights in case of blends modified with MgSO4.
期刊介绍:
Polymers from Renewable Resources, launched in 2010, publishes leading peer reviewed research that is focused on the development of renewable polymers and their application in the production of industrial, consumer, and medical products. The progressive decline of fossil resources, together with the ongoing increases in oil prices, has initiated an increase in the search for alternatives based on renewable resources for the production of energy. The prevalence of petroleum and carbon based chemistry for the production of organic chemical goods has generated a variety of initiatives aimed at replacing fossil sources with renewable counterparts. In particular, major efforts are being conducted in polymer science and technology to prepare macromolecular materials based on renewable resources. Also gaining momentum is the utilisation of vegetable biomass either by the separation of its components and their development or after suitable chemical modification. This journal is a valuable addition to academic, research and industrial libraries, research institutions dealing with the use of natural resources and materials science and industrial laboratories concerned with polymer science.
