The current investigation endeavors to address the inadequate ductility and suboptimal gas barrier properties of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) by producing composites of PLA with functionalized mesoporous silica (PLA/0.6SPA-MPS-ACN) through the solution casting method. MCM-41 (MPS) mesoporous silica is synthesized from rice husk (RH) via the sol–gel method and modified with a biosurfactant, sucrose palmitate (SPA), and again functionalized with anthocyanin (ACN). This study investigates how nanofiller weight percentages affect PLA’s structural, morphological, thermomechanical, and barrier characteristics. BET analysis reveals a decrease in pore volume and surface area subsequent to the modification of MPS with SPA and ACN. The morphological analysis provides evidence of the uniform dispersion of filler within the PLA matrix at a loading of up to 5 wt %. The structural characteristics, thermal stability, and crystallization properties of PLA/0.6SPA-MPS-ACN composites are examined by using FTIR, XRD, TGA, and DSC analysis, respectively. All composite films have lower UV–visible light transmission than PLA. Mechanical investigations show that PLA/0.6SPA-MPS-ACN (5 wt %) films significantly improve tensile strength, yield stress, and tensile modulus values by ∼55, ∼88, and ∼89%, respectively. The OTR data show that adding 0.6SPA-MPS-ACN (5 wt %) to the PLA matrix reduced the O 2 transmission rate by ∼52%. The Nielsen model fitted PLA composite diffusion data with a lower 0.6SPA-MPS-ACN loading.

The environmental pollution issues associated with petrochemical-derived plastics have urged the search for a new class of sustainable plastics. The utilization of bioplastics in the packaging field has been increasing due to the exhaustion of fuel resources. Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a hastily industrialized candidate among the biobased plastics family. The disadvantages of PLA like poor ductility and poor gas barrier characteristics limit its end use as food packaging material. Therefore, the present study attempts to overcome these limitations by fabrication of PLA/polyethylenimine-modified mesoporous silica (PEI-MS) composites via solution casting method. The influence of PEI content in MS and wt % loadings of optimized PEI content in MS on the structural, thermomechanical, and oxygen permeability properties of PLA is investigated in detail. The reduction in pore volume and surface area after modification of MS with PEI is demonstrated by BET analysis. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed that the presence of PEI-MS aided in significantly improving the thermal stability of PLA biocomposite films. DSC analysis results revealed the faster crystallization process for PLA composites due to the nucleating effect induced by the PEI-MS reinforcement. The SEM micrographs confirmed that the PEI-MS is uniformly dispersed in the PLA matrix. Contact angle analysis revealed the increased hydrophobicity for PLA/PEI-MS composite films upon reinforcement. Mechanical studies demonstrated that the elongation-at-break (%) for PLA/PEI-MS composite films improved due to the plasticizing effect exhibited by PEI-MS. Interestingly, a decrease in oxygen transmission rate is observed for PLA composites in the presence of filler.

BACKGROUND By coalescing nanotechnology with photochemistry and microbiology, a new type of photoactive antimicrobial agent based on zinc oxide nanoparticles incorporated into biomacromolecular lignin was formulated, which possesses a wide-spectrum antimicrobial activity, providing dramatic effects in the field of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy. METHODS The biomacromolecule lignin was functionally modified with 2-[(E)-(2-hydroxy naphthalen-1-yl) diazenyl] benzoic acid by Steglich esterification, and loaded with zinc oxide nanoparticles. The products were characterized by UV-Visible, FTIR, and NMR spectroscopic techniques, and by SEM, TEM, and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The photoresponsive behavior of the dye, functionally modified lignin-dye ester and its nanoparticle dispersed product was investigated. The photoinduced antibacterial and antifungal effects of zinc oxide nanoparticle encapsulated functionally modified lignin were explicated in detail. RESULTS The photostabilization property of the chromophoric system was found to be enhanced when attached to lignin, and was further improved by the encapsulation of photoactive zinc oxide nanoparticles. The detailed studies on the photoinduced antibacterial and antifungal property revealed that upon light irradiation the antibacterial and antifungal efficacies of the test system got magnified. CONCLUSIONS Incorporation of photoactive zinc oxide nanoparticles into the functionalized macromolecular system could make drastic changes in their photoresponsive abilities such as enhanced light absorption behavior and excellent photostabilization properties enriched with superior photoinduced antimicrobial efficacy, which rendered the functionally modified system an excellent photoinduced antimicrobial agent, and can be used in various biomedical applications especially in antimicrobial photodynamic therapy.
