This study revealed the relationship between cellulose types/adding methods and film properties, in which sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) were added into starch/PBAT blown films in powder, aqueous solution, and emulsion forms, respectively. Cellulose interacted with starch networks via hydrogen bonds, and those added in emulsion form made more homogeneous film morphologies. MCC emulsion enhanced the film strength (40%) and modulus (149%) to the greatest extent, while comprehensively, HPMC emulsion possessed better reinforcement effects on the films, which increased mechanical properties (31% ~ 100%), moisture barrier (20%), oxygen barrier (93%), surface hydrophobicity (20%), as well as water resistance (12% ~ 76%). Findings supported the application of cellulose in high-throughput biodegradable films, and the high-content starch/PBAT blown films reinforced by HPMC emulsion had great potential in commercial packaging fields.

Background: Glycerol is a well-known plasticizer for starch-based materials, but it easily migrates during starch retrogradation, thereby deteriorating the films' properties. We hypothesized that the performance of high-content starch/poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) films could be enhanced by using sugar/sugar alcohol (glucose, sucrose and sorbitol) as natural, green and edible co-plasticizers with glycerol.
Results: The employment of co-plasticizers reduced the melt fluidity of the blends, established intermolecular hydrogen bonds with starch and resulted in a brittle film structure.

Oxidative rancidity of food products and massive consumption of plastic packaging have put the necessity in manufacturing novel antioxidant biodegradable packaging films. A comprehensive investigation was conducted on starch/poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) antioxidant blown films, in which starch acted as a gatekeeper for the controlled release of propyl gallate (PG). PG was well integrated into the matrices and bound to starch molecules by hydrogen bonding.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with a low surface energy on the structure and physicochemical properties of starch/poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) blown films. The film's appearance was not significantly changed after the addition of PDMS. Compared with the films without PDMS, the films with PDMS displayed a smoother surface.

This work proposed a novel strategy for manufacturing biodegradable pH-response packaging. Briefly, to minimize the amount and thermal processing times of blueberry extract (BE), ethanol-dissolved BE (≤ 3‰ w/w) was sprayed onto the starch/poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) pellets before extrusion blowing. BE was well-integrated into the matrix, forming uniformly colored films.

A functional starch (TPS-E) was designed and constructed by incorporating epoxy soybean oil (ESO) and an antibacterial agent polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride (PHMG), then the film was prepared by reaction extrusion and blow molding using TPS-E and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT). The micro-crosslinking structure, forming through ring-opening reaction between the epoxy active site of TPS-E and the end group of PBAT, improved the compatibility of starch/PBAT blend and reduce the dispersed starch phase size, leading to significantly increase the tensile strength. Compared to starch/PBAT films, the tensile strength of TPS-E/PBAT in the longitudinal direction increase by 112% with the same starch content of 30%.
