Abstract

A series of LDPE/PVA blend films were prepared via a twin-screw extruder, and their morphology, thermal property, oxygen and water vapor permeation, surface properties, and mechanical properties were investigated as a function of the PVA content. During the extrusion process of the blend films, glycerin improved the compatibility and processing conditions between LDPE and PVA. The melting temperature (T_m), melting enthalpy (ΔH_m), crystallinity (%), and thermal stability of the thermal decomposition temperature (T_5%) of the LDPE/PVA blend films decreased with increasing PVA content. The oxygen permeabilities of the blend films decreased from 24.0 to 11.4 cm³·cm (m²·day·atm)^-¹ at 23°C. The WVTR increased from 7.8 to 15.0 g(m² day)^-1 and the water uptake increased from 0.13 to 9.31%, respectively. The mechanical properties of blend films were slightly enhanced up to 2% PVA and then decreased. The physical properties of the blend films strongly varied with the chemical structure and morphology depending on the PVA and glycerin.
