Physical Properties of Chemically Modified Starch(RS4)/PVA Blend Films—Part 1

In this paper, we report on the physical properties of films that have been synthesized by using native corn starch (NS) and chemically modified starch (RS4). NS or RS4/PVA blend films were synthesized by using the mixing process and the casting method. Glycerol (GL), sorbitol (SO), and citric acid (CA) were used as additives. The chemically modified starch (RS4) was synthesized by using sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP) and sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) as a crosslinker. Then, the RS4 thus synthesized was confirmed by using the pancreatin-gravimetric method, swelling power and an X-ray diffractometer (XRD). Tensile strength (TS), elongation (%E), swelling behavior (SB), and solubility (S) of the films were measured. The result of the measurements indicated the RS4-added film was better than the NS-added film. Especially, the RS4/PVA blend film with CA as an additive showed the physical properties superior to other films.

Influence of Fibers on the Mechanical Properties of Cassava Starch Foams

The utilization of renewable resources in packaging can provide solutions to ecological problems such as waste quantity. Agricultural resources are alternative raw materials, among which there is starch, a natural polysaccharide that can be used to form resistant foam under wet and warm conditions. The starch foam is obtained by thermo pressing process where cassava starch, water and additives are processed to form a rigid structure by swelling, gelatinization and network formation. Natural fibers can be used to improve the mechanical properties of starch foams. In this project was investigated the influence of the addition of fibers in the levels of 1, 2 and 3% of cassava (short fiber) and 1, 2 and 3% of wheat fiber (powered fiber) in the starch dough. The foams were characterized by physical methods of strength, flexibility, density and by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The increase in fibers quantity has resulted in foams with higher density and less flexibility, whatever the fiber type. Most fibers quantity did not improve the foam strength. Foam made with 1% of cassava fiber showed higher compression strength; by increasing the percentage quantity there was a decrease on the compression resistance. Foam made with wheat fiber presented a lower result in 2%. The fiber type had no statistical significance in strength, flexibility and density foam. Only the fiber quantity was significant. The results showed that both fibers presented limited dimensions to improve the reinforcement of the starch foams up to 1%.     

Effect of Poly(dioxolane) as Compatibilizer in Poly(ɛ-caprolactone)/Tapioca Starch Blends

The influence of poly(dioxolane) (PDXL), a poly(ethylene oxide-alt-methylene oxide), as compatibilizer on poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL)/tapioca starch (TS) blends was studied. In order to facilitate blending; PCL, PDXL and TS must be blended together directly; so that PDXL is partially adhered at the TS surface as shown by scanning electron microscopy. The molecular weight effect of PDXL on the PCL/TS blends showed that mechanical properties of PCL/TS/PDXL blends from low molecular weight (M _n=10,000) and high molecular weight (M _n=200,000) PDXL were rather dependent on TS content. The enzymatic degradability of PCL/TS/PDXL blends using α-amylase increased as the TS content increased but was independent on the dispersion of tapioca starch in the PCL matrix.

微生物燃料电池利用甘薯燃料乙醇废水产电的研究

利用空气阴极微生物燃料电池(MFC)处理甘薯燃料乙醇废水,以COD为5000mg/L的废水做底物,获得的最大电功率密度为334.1mW/m2,库仑效率(CE)为10.1%,COD去除率为92.2%.实验进一步考察了磷酸缓冲液(PBS)浓度和废水浓度对MFC产电性能的影响.PBS含量从50mmol/L增加到200mmol/L,MFC输出的最大电功率密度提高了33.4%,CE增加26.0%,但PBS对废水的COD去除率影响不大.含50mmol/LPBS的废水COD从625mg/L增加到10000mg/L,COD去除率和MFC输出的最大电功率密度在废水浓度为5000mg/L处均获得最大值,但CE值有降低的趋势,从28.9%变化至10.3%.这些结果表明,MFC可以在处理甘薯燃料乙醇废水的同时获得电能;增大PBS浓度能提高MFC的产电性能;MFC输出的最大电功率密度随废水COD增加而增大,但废水浓度过高会引起酸化使MFC产电性能下降.
