Abstract:

Xylan was modified with a silane coupling agent, KH560, and then used to prepared the poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT)/poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/xylan composite films through melt blending. The effect of the content of the modified xylan on the mechanical properties, oxygen permeability, moisture permeability and light transmission of the composite films was investigated. The results indicated that the composite films achieved optimum tensile strength and oxygen transmission rate at a xylan content of 1 wt%. The tensile strength of the composite films increased by 11.7 % compared to that of pristine PBAT/PLA film, while their oxygen transmission rate was also higher than that of the pristine one. However, their oxygen transmission coefficient was reduced by 32.7 %. The moisture resistance of the composite films with the modified xylan was significantly higher than that of the unmodified one. Moreover, the haze of the composite films increased with an increase in the xylan content.

Key words: poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate), polylactic acid, xylan, composite material
