Definitions
- the invention deals with the application of acrylic polyesters into low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films, which is a polymer commercially used in packaging materials.
- LDPE low-density polyethylene
- This invention serves to reduce LDPE lifetime under solar light (ultraviolet radiation) after its use, i.e., to turn it into a photodegradable LDPE, i.e., degradable under solar light or ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
- Another invention describes a composition, which includes modified starch, photosensibilizer, degradation controlling agent and talcum powder, to produce biodegradable and photodegradable polyethylene (4). Evaluated technical problems were in the manipulation of aluminum-titanium coupling agents, to treat starch and talcum powder, the latter offering exposure risk.
- Another process presents the formation of a basic material capable of suffering under light and biological degradation, which includes polyolefin resin, modified starch, photodegradation agent, oxidation accelerator, auto-oxidation agent, degradation controlling agent and calcium carbonate (5). It was not informed how much polyethylene useful lifetime was reduced.
- Another variation shows the preparation of a degradable additive composed material for polyolefinic resins, which contains an polyhydroxi-carbonyl aliphatic acid (citric acid or monosodic citrate), a metal carboxilate (preferably cobalt stereate), and stabilizers compounds or oxidants (calcium oxide and iron oxide pigments), specially for the use in bin and agricultural application bags (6).
- a degradable additive composed material for polyolefinic resins, which contains an polyhydroxi-carbonyl aliphatic acid (citric acid or monosodic citrate), a metal carboxilate (preferably cobalt stereate), and stabilizers compounds or oxidants (calcium oxide and iron oxide pigments), specially for the use in bin and agricultural application bags (6).
- a metallic carboxilate a polyhydroxi-carboxylic acid
- an iron oxide pigment (7).
- This invent is used in polymers to make dustbin bags, shop bags, material for disposable napkins, packaging films, films for using in
- the present invention presents less amount of ingredients for producing the photodegradable films derived from LDPE, by only sorbing the pure LDPE into the liquid monomer containing the dissolved photoinitiator, followed by its photopolimerization in the LDPE matrix.
- this photodegradable material has no natural fibers nor starch in it, it does not suffer microorganisms attack during its use before being discarded. Furthermore at the half lifetime of pure LDPE under UV radiation, the derived film samples were already brittle.
- UV radiation medium pressure mercury vapor lamps with main emission at 254 nm, with average intensity of 1.7 mW/cm 2 and average energy of 0,018 J/cm 2 , both measured 10 cm from radiation source
- UV radiation medium pressure mercury vapor lamps with main emission at 254 nm, with average intensity of 1.7 mW/cm 2 and average energy of 0,018 J/cm 2 , both measured 10 cm from radiation source
- ATR attenuated total reflectance
- UV/visible spectrophotometry that: 1) a greater photo degradability of LDPE/PX in relation to pure LDPE, 2) the beginning of the photodegradation registered inside the films and not on the surface, and 3) the significant loss of mass of the LDPE/PX films during the photodegradation.
- the carboxylic acid is the chemical species present in more proportion (circa 50 %) as a product of photodegradation compared to ketone, aldehide, etc.
- the benzophenone, used as a photoinitiator in the process of photopolymerization of the monomer X is not responsible for the initiation of the photodegradation of the LDPE/PX films, because it is totally consumed in the preparation of the materials by photochemical polymerization.
- the polyethylene plastics absorb the acrylic monomers, passing under UV radiation for 0 to 5 hours, for the photopolymerization of these monomers in the LDPE matrix.
- These plastics, containing now the acrylic polyesters, are employed as packaging materials, always protected from solar or UV irradiation. When discarded, they must be exposed to the sun or to UV irradiation, to undergo the photodegradation process.
- the photochemical degradation of pure LDPE occurred in a 500 to 1000 h period, while of LDPE/PX films occurred from 250 to 500 h.
- the pure LDPE needs several decades to degrade in the environment.
