    Abstract: Graphene is thematerial with the bestmechanical resistance ever encountered. Various types of studies have been carried out on possible applications. The use as a reinforcement in nanocomposites has shown to be a promising field, but some studies indicate that the graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) have better results as reinforcement, due to the functional groups,which allowa better adhesion with the matrix. This study analyzes the production of polypropylene (PP) nanocomposite comparing the use of graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) as fillers and irradiated polypropylene as a coupling agent.Atwin-screw extruder and injection molding machine were used to produce the nanocomposite PP reinforced with 0.2 wt% of GO and RGO by melt blending. The GO and RGO were characterized byXRDanalysis.The nanocomposite sampleswere characterized by XRD, SEM, TG, DSC and mechanical test.

Development of sustainable food packaging material based on biodegradable polymer reinforced with cellulose nanocrystals. Food Packaging and Shelf Life, v. 31, p. 1-10, 2022. DOI: 10.1016/j.fpsl.2021.100807

    Abstract: The increased environmental impact and sustainability issues related to conventional food packaging have gained attention and led to a global concern. The massive consumption of conventional food packaging has increased disposal of non-eco-friendly packaging waste, severely damaging the environment. The replacement by sustainable packaging is an important alternative to reduce the enormous volume of plastic waste. In this work, bionanocomposite films composed of PBAT/PLA blend and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) extracted from agro-waste were investigated. Characterization of CNCs confirmed that nanocrystals were obtained. Bionanocomposite films presented better hydrophobic character and thermal stability than the blend film. In addition, the tensile strength, elongation at break, and Young's modulus was around 52%, 29%, and 118%, respectively, higher than blend films. These mechanical values were comparable to values of commercial plastic materials that are extensively used in food packaging. Thus, the prepared bionanocomposite films might be an interesting alternative to produce sustainable food packaging materials.

    BARROS, JANETTY J.P. ; OLIVEIRA, RENE R. ; LUNA, CARLOS B.B.; WELLEN, RENATE M.R.; MOURA, ESPERIDIANA A.B. . Effectiveness of modified lignin on poly(butylene adipateco-terephthalate)/poly(lactic acid) mulch film performance. Journal of Applied Polymer Science, v. 140, n. 46, p. 1-12, 2023. DOI: 10.1002/app.54684

    Abstract: In this work, the biodegradable poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT)/ poly(lactic acid) (PLA) blend (ECOVIO®) and lignin, a renewable and biodegradable natural polymer with high UV absorption and modified by gamma radiation were used to produce agriculture mulch films. Lignin was gammairradiated at 30 and 60 kGy. The irradiated and non-irradiated lignin content of 2 wt% was incorporated into PBAT/PLA blend matrix using a twin-screw extruder and extrusion blown film to prepare flexible films. PBAT/PLA/LIGNIN films were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), x-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), tensile tests, contact angle, and UV–Vis analysis. FTIR spectra showed partial miscibility between PBAT/PLA and lignin, being intensified in irradiated lignin compounds. The DSC and XRD results confirmed that the degree of crystallinity of the blends was not significantly influenced by lignin addition. FE-SEM images showed better dispersion and miscibility in PBAT/PLA/Irradiated lignin. Miscibility improvement provided by irradiated lignin promoted better mechanical properties, mainly with lignin irradiated at 60 kGy. PBAT/PLA/LIGNIN films containing 2 wt% showed excellent UV-barrier property and greater hydrophobicity. Summing up, incorporation of low contents of irradiated lignin could be an interesting alternative to produce biodegradable UV-blocking agriculture mulch films.

    BARROS, JANETTY J.P. ; SOARES, CARLOS P. ; MOURA, ESPERIDIANA A.B. de ; WELLEN, RENATE M.R.. Enhanced miscibility of PBAT/PLA/lignin upon γ-irradiation and effects on the non-isothermal crystallization. Journal of Applied Polymer Science, v. 139, n. 45, p. 1-18, 2022. DOI: 10.1002/app.53124

    Abstract: Lignin is natural and renewable polymer, the second most abundant on Earth. Properly used it can reduce synthetic and oil based materials in addition to contributing to the biodegradable systems. In this work, the kraft lignin was subjected to gamma radiation at absorbed doses of 30, 60, and 90 KGy in order to increase the interaction with “Poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT)/Poly(lactic acid) (PLA)” blend (Ecovio®). PBAT/PLA/lignin blends with 10% of the weight of lignin were produced by extrusion using twin-screw extruder and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). FTIR spectra showed partial miscibility between PBAT/PLA and lignin, most due to the hydrogen bond between PBAT/PLA carbonyl and lignin hydroxyl, being intensified in irradiated lignin compounds. As evidenced on DSC scans, in PBAT/PLA/irradiated lignin the crystallization peak was shifted to lower temperatures and the crystallization rate decreased. Crystallization kinetics was modeled using Pseudo Avrami, and isoconversional models of Friedman and Vyazovkin. Pseudo-Avrami displayed linearity deviation at beginning and crystallization ending due to the nucleation and secondary crystallization, while from Friedman and Vyazovkin the activation energy (Ea) was higher for PBAT/PLA/irradiated lignin 30 KGy, characterizing crystallization with higher energy consumption. FE-SEM images showed better dispersion and miscibility in PBAT/PLA/irradiated lignin. The results indicate that the irradiation of Kraft lignin promotes miscibility and compatibility of PBAT/PLA/lignin.

    MOURA, E.A. ; SANTOS, B.S. ; ISHIKAWA, O. ; SANTANA, J.G. ; BARTOLOMEI, M.R. ; OLIVEIRA, R.R. . Graphene oxide nanosheets as fillers for thermoplastic-matrix nanocomposites. In: PAN-AMERICAN NANOTECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE, 2nd, March 4-7, 2020, Águas de Lindoia, SP. Abstract... 2020.

    Abstract: Recent studies have shown that the synthesis of graphene oxide (GO) by chemical oxidation of graphite followed by its reduction is one's the most promising routes to prepare remarkable polymer/graphene nanocomposite materials with significant improvement of properties compared to the base polymer. The addition of a very small amount of reduced graphene oxide (RGO)in a polymer can enhance its properties, with respect to electrical conductivity, barrier resistance, stiffness, abrasion resistance, mechanical resistance, and fire retardancy. Numerous approaches have been established to prepare RGO from the desoxygenation of GO. This work presents the synthesis of graphene oxide by chemical oxidation of graphite followed by its photoreduction in aqueous dispersion using UV radiation and highlights some examples of RGO/thermoplastic-matrix nanocomposites prepared by melt processing. To evaluate the potential application of thermoplastic composites prepared, the RGO's content on the morphological, mechanical and thermal properties of the as-obtained nanocomposites has been assessed. In addition, GO/RGO nanosheets were characterized by ATR–FTIR, XRD, Raman, and FE-SEM. According to the results, it can be inferred that the addition of RGO leads to a remarkable improvement in the performance of thermoplastic-matrix nanocomposites and offers a competitive solution for various potential applications.

    Abstract: Due to the remarkable properties of graphene oxide (GO) and its possibility of functionalization,GOhas been used in many applications such as nanocomposites. GO nanosheets have been shown to improve the properties of the polypropylene (PP) matrix, for instance, its strength, gas barrier, thermal, and electrical conductivity. As PP has relatively low cost and varied applications, this work aims to study the changes in its thermal, morphological, and mechanical properties, due to the incorporation of GO in the PP matrix. GO was synthesized from graphite by a modified Hummers method. The nanocomposites PP/GO with 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 wt% of GO in the PP matrix were obtained using a twin-screw extruder and an injection molding machine via a melt blending process. The nanocomposites PP/GO were characterized by FE-SEM and Izod impact test. In addition, the GO nanosheets were also characterized by Raman spectroscopy, ATR-FTIR, FE-SEM, and XRD, therewith correlation between properties was discussed.

Influence of reinforcing efficiency of clay on the mechanical properties of poly(butylene terephthalate) nanocomposite. Ceramics, v. 6, n. 1, p. 58-73, 2023. DOI: 10.3390/ceramics6010005

    Abstract: In contrast to traditional fillers, clay, in particular, natural smectite clay, represents an environmentally significant alternative to improve the properties of polymers. Compared to conventional nanofillers, smectite clay can effectively enhance the physical and mechanical properties of polymer nanocomposites with a relatively small amount of addition (<5 wt%). The present study focuses on investigating the reinforcing efficiency of different amounts (up to 5 wt%) of a natural Brazilian smectite clay modified (MBClay) on the mechanical properties of poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) nanocomposites and also evaluates the correlation between MBClay addition and the mechanical and thermal behaviors of the PBT/MBClay nanocomposites. Natural Brazilian clay modified by the addition of quaternary salt and sodium carbonate (MBClay) was infused into the PBT polymer by melt extrusion using a twin-screw extruder. It was found that the best properties for PBT were obtained at 3.7 wt% of modified BClay. Tensile strength at break exhibited increased by about 60%, flexural strength increased by 24%, and flexural modulus increased by 17%. In addition, an increase in the crystallinity percentage of PBT/BClay nanocomposite was confirmed by DSC and XRD analysis, and a gain of about 45% in HDT was successfully achieved due to the incorporation of 3.7 wt% of MBClay

    Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of incorporation of the reduced graphene oxide on properties of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). The incorporation of 0.5 and 1.5 wt% of RGO into ABS matrix was carried out by melting extrusion process using a twin-screw extruder and injection molding machine. The properties of ABS/RGO nanocomposite samples were investigated by tensile and impact Izod tests, FE-SEM, and XRD analysis. The results showed that the incorporation of small amount of RGO into ABS matrix led to obtaining of polymeric nanocomposite with superior mechanical properties when compared with original properties of ABS matrix.

    Abstract: The large amount of plastic waste found in the environment, landfills, and dumps boost research into the recycling of polymer materials, which could reduce the amount of polymer discarded. In Brazil, the sector that most consumes polymers is the civil construction that could consume recycled polymerswithout concerns with the properties due to applications of low mechanical exigency. However, for applications in this sector, it is necessary that the materials have some resistance to the propagation of flames. This work discusses the flame retardance in nanocomposites with recycled polystyrene matrix and particles of nanoargila, titanium dioxide, and gypsum. The results of the X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), field emission scanning electronmicroscopy (FE-SEM), and flammability test. The results showed that glycerol, added during recycling, can plasticize recycled expanded polystyrene while maintaining the flame resistance properties of the material with flame retardant. It can also be concluded that some particles may delay the propagation of the flame in the composite.

    BARTOLOMEI, SUELLEN S. ; SANTANA, JULYANA G. ; DIAZ, FRANCISCO R.V.; KAVAKLI, PINAR A.; GUVEN, OLGUN; MOURA, ESPERIDIANA A.B. . Investigation of the effect of titanium dioxide and clay grafted with glycidyl methacrylate by gamma radiation on the properties of EVA flexible films. Radiation Physics and Chemistry, v. 169, p. 1-9, 2020. DOI: 10.1016/j.radphyschem.2018.08.022

    Abstract: Many studies report that nanocomposites obtained by dispersion of a small amount nanofiller into the polymer have remarkable improvements achieved in the mechanical and physical properties. However, in order to achieve this great improvement in properties, it is necessary that the nanofillers be dispersed homogeneously into the polymeric matrix. Often this dispersion is difficult to achieve due to the high interfacial energy of the nanoparticles present. This study reports the effect of gamma irradiation induced graft of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) onto the surface of TiO2 and Clay nanofillers to improve their dispersion into the EVA matrix. The physical and mechanical properties of Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) flexible films with these nanoparticles were studied. EVA nanocomposite with adding of the different amount of TiO2 and modified montmorillonite clay grafted and un-grafted with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) using gamma irradiation have been prepared by melt extrusion. The nanocomposite flexible films were produced using a flat die extrusion process. The PGMA-grafted nanofillers were characterized by XRD and TEM analysis. The flexible films were characterized by Tensile tests, ATR–FTIR, UV–VIS, XRD, TG, and FE-SEM analysis to understand the nature of the interaction between the nanofillers and EVA matrix. The results showed that the addition of PGMA-grafted TiO2 and Clay nanofillers into EVA matrix improved the bonding between the nanofillers and matrix. It was also found that the PGMA-grafted nanofillers could be well dispersed into an EVA matrix in contrast to that of un-grafted. The tensile strength and modulus of the resulting EVA/TiO2-PGMA enhanced in comparison to that of un-grafted TiO2. The EVA/Clay-PGMA had slightly decreased tensile strength comparable to that of EVA/Clay but had considerably improved elastic modulus. In addition, the flexible films based on TiO2 exhibited high UV–Vis light absorption with energy gap shifted to the visible region. The results demonstrated that TiO2 and Clay nanofillers grafted with GMA by gamma radiation can be used to prepare EVA flexible films with improved bonding between the nanofillers and matrix and, consequently, enhanced properties for food and cosmetic packaging application.

    Abstract: The aim of this study was to process and investigate the changes in the mechanical and morphological properties of the biodegradable nanocomposites based on polybutylene adipate-co-terephthalate (PBAT)/poly(lactic acid) (PLA) blend (PBAT/PLA blend) due to the incorporation of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanosheets. The biodegradable polymeric nanocomposites were prepared by melting extrusion process using a twin-screw extruder machine. The influence of the RGO nanosheets incorporation on mechanical and thermal properties of PBAT/PLA blend was investigated by tensile Thermogravimetric (TG), X-Ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and tensile test analysis. Results showed that incorporation of the small amount ofRGO(0.1wt.%) ofRGOnanosheets in the blend matrix of PBAT/PLA resulted in an important gain of mechanical properties of the blend. This result indicates that a very small amount of RGO nanosheets addition in the PBAT/PLA can lead to obtaining materials with superior properties suitable for several industrial applications.

DOI: 10.1007/s10924-020-01886-6

    Abstract: Lignins are promising alternative raw materials for biocomposites due to their renewability, low cost and abundance. In this work, the use of (softwood and hardwood) Kraft lignins in the development of LLDPE/lignin films for agricultural mulch applications is studied. Processable blends were obtained from unmodified softwood lignin (SW) and from hardwood lignin modified by esterification (HWE). LLDPE was pelletized with (2.5%, 5% and 10%) lignin with particle size between 38 and 75 μm and flexible films were blown extruded. Processable extrusion blends showed temperature differences lower than 20 °C between the Tg of lignin and the melting temperature of LLPDE. Films from neat LLPDE and with 2.5% of HWE and up to 5% SW exhibited statistically comparable (≅ 349%) values of ductility. Ester groups present in lignin improve weight loss of lignin-based blends after soil buried test.

    Abstract: Over the years the consumption of plastic products made of conventional polymers has produced a large amount of waste which has led to disposal problems worldwide. Among the alternatives to minimize these problems are reuse and recycling practices. Then, the recycling of plastic and the use of recycled materials to produce new materials reinforced with nanoparticles from natural resources can be an alternative to reduce inappropriate waste disposal. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of the addition of clay and non-treated babassu fiber residues on the mechanical and morphological properties of composite based on recycled LDPE/EVA blend. Composite materials containing 1–3 wt% of babassu residues and 1 wt% of clay were prepared using a twin-screw extruder machine and flat die single extrusion process, in order to prepare hybrid composites sheets. The sheets prepared by recycled LDPE/EVA blend and its composites were characterized by tensile tests, XRD, and FE-SEM analysis and the correlation between properties was discussed.

    Abstract: This study focuses on the preparation and characterization of nanocomposite system with bio-based epoxy resin (Super SAP 100/1000, contains 37% bio-based carbon content) and natural clays including Georgian clay and Brazilian clay. Georgian clay was surface modified using an ultrasound processing in presence of Decalin. Brazilian clay was modified to organophilic bentonite using quaternary ammonium salts. The resulting nano clay particles were characterized using XRD and TEM to confirm the particle size reduction and uniform distribution. The as-fabricated nanocomposites were characterized using flexure, DMA, TMA and TGA. The flexure analysis showed that the modified clay composites have significant improvement in strength (23–38%) and modulus (28–37%). Delayed thermal degradation was observed from TGA analysis which showed that the major degradation temperatures improved from 7°-25°C. DMA and TMA analysis showed improvements in storage moduli (4–6%) and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) (6–64%), respectively. The notable improvement in thermal and mechanical properties suggested the effective dispersion and the high degree of polymer particle interaction. The bio based content present in the Super Sap 100/1000 acts as plasticizer resulting in the extensive ductility of the polymer.

    Abstract: The inorganic halloysite nanotube (HNT) is a promising type of naturally occurring fillers with many important uses in different fields. An HNT has a relatively low content of hydroxyl groups on its surface, which makes it relatively hydrophobic, although this is not always sufficient to guarantee good interfacial adhesion in composite systems. Further surface treatment is required to improve the compatibility of HNTs with polymer matrixes, maximizing interfacial interactions. The aim of the present work was to study a noncovalent functionalization of halloysite with 2,2′-(1,2-ethenediyldi-4,1-phenylene) bisbenzoxazole (EPB), based on electron transfer, for further use of EPB as a coupling agent in polymer/HNT compatibility. A set of characterization techniques were performed to evaluate the chemical and physical properties and evidence the functionalization. The results revealed the surface modification of halloysite upon functionalization. Emphasis was for powder wettability by tensiometry based on Washburn because no studies about halloysite powders using this technique could be found in the literature. The results demonstrate a reduction in the total surface energy of the system, usually accompanied by a reduction in the polar component upon HNT modification.

    Abstract: The poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT), a biodegradable polymer, is among the most promising materials to be considered as environmentally friendly high performance biodegradable plastics. However, the mechanical properties of PBAT are not the best for several applications. According to the literature, the properties of the biodegradable polymer can be improved by addition of a small amount of nanofillers, such as clay, silica, and graphene. The objective of this study is to compare the effect of the addition of Cloisite clay and graphene oxide (GO) on the properties of flexible films based on PBAT matrix. The composite films based on PBAT with addition of Cloisite (2.0 wt%) and PBAT composite films with addition of Cloisite and GO (0.1–0.2 wt%) were prepared by extrusion, using a twin-screw extruder and a flat die single extruder. The effects of the addition of Cloisite clay and graphene oxide on mechanical and thermal properties of films were evaluated by mechanical and water absorption tests, FE-SEM, XRD, and Raman analysis.

    BARTOLOMEI, SUELLEN S.; SILVA, FELIPE L.F. da; MOURA, ESPERIDIANA A.B. de ; WIEBECK, HELIO. Recycling expanded polystyrene with a biodegradable solvent to manufacture 3D printed prototypes and finishing materials for construction. Journal of Polymers and the Environment, v. 30, n. 9, p. 3701-3717, 2022. DOI: 10.1007/s10924-022-02465-7

    Abstract: The amount of plastic waste generated is causing damage to the environment, such as sea and soil pollution, and one of the alternatives for disposing of polymers is recycling. This work proposes recycling expanded polystyrene using a biodegradable solvent, its plastification with glycerol, and the preparation of the composite with post-consumer recycled gypsum for applications to manufacturing by 3D printing and for finishing materials for construction. Specimen for tensile testing and shore D hardness were prepared by injection process and by 3D printing. In addition, Thermogravimetric (TG), Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), Differential scanning calorimeter, Scanning electron microscope (FESEM) analyses, and flame propagation tests were also carried out. TG and FTIR analyses show that the recycling process did not degrade the material, and the addition of glycerol and gypsum improved the thermal stability of the composite. The mechanical properties of the injected and 3D printed samples with gypsum were similar, due to the dimensional stability of the manufactured filament, which improved the speed and quality of the specimen printing. The increase in ductility and the reduction in the glass transition temperature showed that the recycled expanded polystyrene (RPS) were effectively plasticized with the addition of 2 wt% glycerol, preserving their flame self-extinguishment when subjected to the flame propagation test. Due to these properties, the plasticized RPS can be used to manufacture articles for finishing in civil construction, and the RPS composite can be used to manufacture 3D printed prototypes.

    JOSE, ALVARO H.M.; MOURA, ESPERIDIANA A.B. ; RODRIGUES JUNIOR, DURVAL; KLEINGESINDS, EDUARDO K.; RODRIGUES, RITA C.L.B.. A residue-free and effective corncob extrusion pretreatment for the enhancement of high solids loading enzymatic hydrolysis to produce sugars. Industrial Crops and Products, v. 188, n. Part B, p. 1-11, 2022. DOI: 10.1016/j.indcrop.2022.115655

    Abstract: To convert biomass into biofuel, pretreatment is the first stage required to de-structure lignocellulose – twin-screw extrusion is one of the viable pretreatment technologies. The enzymatic hydrolysis of corncobs pretreated with twin-screw extrusion to obtain sugar was evaluated. Corncob extrusion (115–130 °C; 14 rpm) was enhanced through the employment of additives (water and glycerol, 25:25, % w/w). By reproducing the response surface methodology (RSM) technique, the maximized glucose productivity (0.69 g L−1 h−1) and conversion of cellulose to glucose (90.4 % w/w), as well as hemicellulose to xylose and arabinose (44.0 % w/w) were established with the dosage of the commercial enzymatic complex Cellic Ctec2 (32 FPU/gdry lignocellulosic material) and solids loading (17.8 % w/w). Total sugar yield was of 471 kg (glucose 323 kg; xylose and arabinose 148 kg) for a dried corncob ton. Kinetic constants of the Michaelis-Menten model, Vmax and Km, for converting cellulose to glucose were of 6.00 % (w/w)/h and 22.59 gcellulose/Lsolution, respectively. A residue-free and effective corncob extrusion pretreatment enhanced high solids loading enzymatic hydrolysis to achieve a glucose-rich solution.
