Glutaraldehyde Crosslinked Polyvinyl Alcohol/Eggshell Powder Biocomposite Films: Properties and Biodegradability

Abstract: The utilisation of waste materials in polymer matrices is gaining attraction due to the growing environmental awareness. In this work, eggshells waste was added into polyvinyl alcohol to produce biocomposite films via solution casting method. In order to enhance the properties of the biocomposite, glutaraldehyde (GA) was incorporated as the crosslinking agent. The effects of GA content on the biocomposite were evaluated in terms of its tensile properties, physical properties and biodegradability. From the tens… Show more

“…However, the surfaces of eggshell powder-banana starch and eggshell-orange peel powderbanana starch films were rough due to calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) from eggshell powder agglomerating on the starch matrix. The agglomeration leads to poor eggshell powder dispersion, which causes roughness on the film surface [26].…”
