Abstract
The goal of this study was to develop pregelatinized starch (P-St) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) fi lms as water-soluble laundry plastic bags to avoid having contact with COVID-19 infected clothes by extrusion method. The effects of pregelatinized starch (P-St) content on the properties of polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) fi lms were examined. PVOH and P-St blend were compounded by twin- screw extruder with various P-St content of 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40% by weight with fi xed glycerol content of 20 phr. The blend fi lms were produced by blown fi lm extrusion. The chemical structure, thermal properties, water-solubility, mechanical properties, and the cross-sections morphological properties of PVOH/G/P-St were characterized. As a result, the formation of intermolecular interactions between PVOH, glycerol and P-St was confi rmed by FTIR. Moreover, the addition of P-St on PVOH could reduce the thermal stability due to the content of P-St with amylose, a substance of amorphous structure, affecting the chains fl exibility of PVOH/G/P-St. From the differential scanning calorimeter result, the glass transition temperature was increased with the increment of P-St content because the chains entanglement between PVOH and P-St had affected the reduction in crystallinity and led to the decrement of the melting temperature. Furthermore, the water solubility would strongly be dependent on the percentage of the gelatinized starch (%GS). The solubility decreased as the percentage of the GS increased. In addition, PVOH with 20% of P-St fi lm possessed the highest value in tensile strength and modulus, and the particles of P-St have a good distribution in PVOH/G indicating to stronger interaction of P-St and PVOH/G.
期刊介绍：
The Chiang Mai Journal of Science is an international English language peer-reviewed journal which is published in open access electronic format 6 times a year in January, March, May, July, September and November by the Faculty of Science, Chiang Mai University. Manuscripts in most areas of science are welcomed except in areas such as agriculture, engineering and medical science which are outside the scope of the Journal. Currently, we focus on manuscripts in biology, chemistry, physics, materials science and environmental science. Papers in mathematics statistics and computer science are also included but should be of an applied nature rather than purely theoretical. Manuscripts describing experiments on humans or animals are required to provide proof that all experiments have been carried out according to the ethical regulations of the respective institutional and/or governmental authorities and this should be clearly stated in the manuscript itself. The Editor reserves the right to reject manuscripts that fail to do so.
