| Popis: | The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of bentonite towards thermoplastic potato starch nanocomposite films on the mechanical, microstructure and physical properties. The nanocomposite films were prepared using bentonite nano filler (0, 1, 5, 10, 15 and 20%) through solution casting technique. Obtained result indicate that, tensile strength increased significantly with increasing bentonite content and the highest tensile strength was recorded for nanocomposite film with 20% bentonite content. Meanwhile, elongation at break increased as the bentonite content increased from 0 to 15%, however significantly decreased at 20% bentonite content due to ductile structure and anti-plasticizing effect. Besides, good dispersion between bentonite nano filler and starch matrix with slightly remaining anglomerates was evident in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image. Overall result shows that the addition of bentonite nano filler in potato starch film significantly influenced the properties of the films. |
