Preparation and Properties of Liquefied Banana Pseudo-stem based PVAc Membrane

摘要: A series of novel membrane materials were prepared based on liquefied banana pseudo-stem (LBPS) blended with various proportions polyvinyl acetate emulsion (PVAc). The mechanical properties, structure, thermal stability, and cross-sectional morphologies investigated using a universal testing machine, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. addition LBPS to PVAc led structural change, this change depended the reaction temperature. enhancement elongation thermostability membranes is attributed an increase in C-O-C groups. Furthermore, LBPS/PVAc have higher water resistance.
