A mechanistic study of the synthesis of sustainable carrageenan-polylactic acid biocomposite

Environmental friendly biocomposites are urgently needed to mitigate the pollution caused by huge consumption of petroleum-based polymers. Renewable carrageenan and polylactic acid (PLA) natural polymers have the potential to replace petroleum-origin polymers. Nevertheless, the carrageenan and PLA t...

description Environmental friendly biocomposites are urgently needed to mitigate the pollution caused by huge consumption of petroleum-based polymers. Renewable carrageenan and polylactic acid (PLA) natural polymers have the potential to replace petroleum-origin polymers. Nevertheless, the carrageenan and PLA themselves inherit poor tensile strength, hydrophobicity and stability. The aim of this study is to underpin the mechanism of synthesis of carrageenan-PLA biocomposite using van’t Hoff plot, 1HNMR and density functional theorem simulation. Strong hydrogen bonding was found at 1.88 Å between O atom (carrageenan) and H atom (PLA) and was validated in 1HNMR shifting at 5.3 ppm corresponding to –OH group from PLA. The interaction established in the biocomposite mixed at 50 °C leads to a stronger tensile strength of 75.37 MPa, higher hydrophobicity and thermal stability with highest activation energy of 45.39 kJ/mol. The biocomposite produced from renewable carrageenan-PLA material would be a future replacement for nondegradable plastic as a food packaging material.
