| Abstract: |
In an attempt to produce bio-composites that possess good physico-mechanical properties, polyamidoamine (PAMAM) was synthesized and characterized as a multi-nitrogen terminal biocompatible and nontoxic polymeric species. It was mixed at various ratios of 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0% with polypropylene (PP) via Brabender-like apparatus. The prepared bio-composites were exposed to 20 kGy of gamma-irradiation to investigate the influence of ionizing radiation on the fabricated specimens. Parameters of mechanical for instance tensile strength (TS), modulus of elasticity (EM), elongation at break (%), and hardness (Shore D), of bio-composites, were considered. Moreover, the stress-strain curves of the fabricated samples were investigated. Furthermore, FTIR and thermal analysis including TGA and DSC have been investigated. The crystallinity % of all investigated samples was calculated on the basis of DSC measurements. Overall migration of prepared samples has been performed as an applicable study of food packaging. FTIR results revealed the |
