Characterization of Calotropis gigantiea plant leaves biomass-based bioplasticizers for biofilm applications

Heliyon, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 10(13), P. e33641 - e33641

Published: June 26, 2024

The present surge in environmental consciousness has pushed for the use of biodegradable plasticizers, which are sustainable and abundant plant resources. As a result their biocompatibility biodegradability, Calotropis gigantiea leaf plasticizers (CLP) serve as viable alternatives to chemical plasticizers. First time, natural from leaves were extracted this study using suitable approach that was also environmentally friendly. XRD results showed reduced crystallinity index 20.2 % crystalline size 5.3 nm, respectively. TGA revealed CLP good thermal stability (244 °C). Through FT-IR study, existence organic compounds can be investigated by key functional groups such alcohol, amine, amide, hydrocarbon, alkene, aromatic, etc. Further presence alcoholic, amino, carboxyl constituents confirmed UV investigation. SEM, EDAX analysis, AFM used examine surface morphology isolated plasticizer. SEM pictures reveal rough surfaces on pores, makes them plasticizing new bioplastics with improved mechanical properties. Poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT), polymer matrix, investigate plasticization impact after macromolecules characterised. biofilm PBAT/CLP had thickness 0.8 mm. In addition, reinforcement interface examined scanning electron microscopy. When is loaded differently PBAT, tensile strength young modulus change 15.30 24.60 MPa 137 168 MPa, CLP-reinforced films demonstrated better compatibility enhanced flexibility at loading 2 when compared pure PBAT films. Considering several documented characteristics, may prove an excellent plasticizer resolving issues future.

Sustainable microcrystalline cellulose extracted from biowaste Albezia lebeck L. leaves: Biomass exfoliation and physicochemical characterization

Physiologia Plantarum, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 176(4)

Published: July 1, 2024

There is a focus on sustainability when manufacturing materials. Utilizing biobased materials and replacing fossil-based products the main research focus. Bio-composite are applied to packaging, filler coatings, pharmaceuticals. Here, we used leaves of agro-waste plant Albizia lebeck L. extract cellulose. Chemical treatment causing strong acid hydrolysis successfully extracted cellulose content from leaves. The obtained was then strengthened with polylactic make film for future applications. Fourier transform spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermal analysis, particle size visible UV elemental analysis were all characterize SEM mechanical property check describe quality reinforced biofilm. greatest yield this raw material 50.2%. crystallinity index crystallite (CI 70.3% CS 11.29 nm) high in TG (DTG) curve derivative revealed breakdown initiated around 305.2°C can endure temperatures up 600°C. Biofilms (1, 2, 3, 5% by weight %) exhibited smooth parallel surface. As concentration increased, minor agglomeration occurred. tensile strength pure (PLA) (34.72 MPa) extended 38.91 MPa filler. Similarly, Young's modulus also increased 5.24 MPa. However, elongation break decreases increase content, least value decrease 7.5 Concerning prospective implementations, it expected that particles will prove be more functional.
