Popis: |
A sodium bentonite product (nanoclay) was added to a polyhydroxybutyrate/ ethyl cellulose (PHB/EC) blend coating agent, and the impact of the nanoclay content on the properties of the coated paper was investigated. The organically treated nanoclay exhibited enhanced compatibility with the PHB/EC blend, ensuring uniform dispersion within the coating layer and improving the barrier properties of the coated paper. The mechanical properties of the PHB/EC blend-coated paper with nanoclay demonstrated ductile behavior, reducing the tensile strength and increasing the elongation. However, at higher nanoclay loadings, specifically up to 25%, aggregation among nanoclay particles occurred. This hindered the enhancement of barrier properties, thereby decreasing the degree of elongation. Incorporating nanoclay as a filler in the PHB/EC blend at suitable levels showed potential for further enhancing the barrier properties and ensuring economic feasibility in the production of packaging paper. |
