摘要: Biodegradable PLLA-based cast films were prepared via melt blending poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) with poly(Llactic acid-co-butylene itaconate) (PLBI), poly(L-lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), and poly(L-lactic acid-cobutylene itaconate-co-glycolic acid) (PLBIGA) copolymers to enhance mechanical, barrier, and degradation properties for dairy packaging applications. Copolymers were synthesized using a one-step melt poly-condensation method, and the film properties were effectively controlled by adjusting the blending ratios. All blended films exhibited significantly improved toughness while maintaining high transparency. Specifically, PLLA/PLBIGA20 % film demonstrated a 90.1 % reduction in oxygen transmission rate (OTR) and a 54.3 % reduction in water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) compared to pure PLLA, and PLLA/PLBI20 % film reduced ultraviolet (UV) transmittance to 53 % in the 280-320 nm range. The soil degradation rates of blended films were notably higher than pure PLLA, with distinct degradation mechanisms observed for each copolymer; notably, PLLA/PLBIGA20 % film degraded simultaneously in both amorphous and crystalline regions. Blended films met food-contact safety standards and, when applied to commercial yogurt packaging, effectively preserved lactic acid bacteria viability, outperforming pure PLLA film. These findings demonstrate the strong potential of PLLAbased blended films as sustainable packaging solutions for dairy products.
