Abstract

The main objective of this study is to prepare starch based LDPE packaging film with and without nanoclay & study the effects of Montmorillonite nanoclay on thermomechanical & barrier properties of the Sago/LDPE film. A series of low density polyethylene (LDPE)/sago starch compounds with different loadings of sago starch content were prepared by twin screw extrusion and glycerol was added to enhance its processability. Film Samples were made by the blown film process. Studies on their thermomechanical and barrier properties were carried out. The presence of high starch contents had an adverse effect on the properties of LDPE/sago starch blends. However, the addition of nanoclay to the blends improved the interfacial adhesion between the two materials, hence, improved the properties of the films. High content of starch also was found to increase the rate of water vapour transmission to LDPE/sago starch films which is undesirable in a packaging film. Nanoclay was found to decrease water vapour transmission rate to the packaging film and enhance the mechanical & thermal properties of the biopolymer film.
