Blend films from nature soy protein isolates (SPI) and synthetical poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) compatibi- lized by glycerol were successfully fabricated by a solu- tion-casting method in this study. Properties of compatibility, mechanical properties, and thermal stability of SPI/PVA films were investigated based on the effect of the PVA concentration. XRD tests confirm that the SPI/ PVA films were partially crystalline materials with peaks of 2y ¼ 20 � . And, the addition of glycerol will insert the crystalline structure and destroy the blend microstructure of SPI/PVA. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) tests show that SPI/PVA blend polymers have a single glass transition temperature (Tg) between 80 and 115.0 � C, which indicate that SPI and PVA have good compatibility. The tension tests show that SPI/PVA films exhibit both higher tensile strength (rb) and percentage elongation at break point (P.E.B.). Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and water solubility tests show that SPI/PVA blend polymer has more stable stability than pure SPI. All the results reflect that SPI/PVA/glycerol blend film provides a con- venient and promising way to prepare soy protein plastics for practical application. V C 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Properties of soy protein isolate/poly(vinyl alcohol) blend “green” films: Compatibility, mechanical properties, and thermal stability

Properties stability and biodegradation behaviors of soy protein isolate/poly (vinyl alcohol) blend films

Microcapsules containing phase change materials (microPCMs) have been widely applied in smart temperature-controlling materials. Interface stability plays a key role in these microPCMs/matrix composites. The aim of this study was to investigate the interface stability behaviors of methanol-melamine-formaldehyde (MMF) shell microPCMs containing paraffin/epoxy matrix composites. MMF prepolymer can be applied to fabricated microcapsules with smooth shells. The average diameter of the microPCMs could be controlled in the range of 5–45 μm by stirring speed of 500–6,000 r min−1. From the SEM morphologies of the interphase between the microPCMs and the epoxy-matrix, it is concluded that the interaction may be enhanced by MMF graft structure due to the increasing of molecular interaction in the interface. During a repeated heat-transmission process, not only the repeated-times of thermal absorbing-releasing process will damage the interface bonding, but also higher thermal conductive speed will make the interface bearing more debonding stress. Large microPCMs in matrix may supply better interface stability. Moreover, the numerical and experimental results are consistent to obtain a clear insight into the rule of interface debonding for microPCMs/matrix composites that the interface perfection can be enhanced by increasing the thickness of interphase.
