Overview

Research demonstrates improved oxygen and water vapor barrier properties in biodegradable composite films, indicating potential for packaging applications.

Key Points

  • Incorporating ethylene‐methyl acrylate‐glycidyl methacrylate improves compatibility of PBAT and PPC by 8%.
  • The barrier properties against oxygen increased by 41% for compatibilized blend films compared to unmodified blends.
  • Adding 20 wt.% talc improved water vapor and oxygen barrier properties by 42% and 29% respectively.
  • This study presents a low-cost solution to enhance PBAT films for broader agricultural and packaging uses.
