Fabrication of antibacterial chitosan-PVA blended film using electrospray technique for food packaging applications.
Int J Biol Macromol. 2018 Feb; 107(Pt A):848-854.IJ

Abstract

In this study, blended films from poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) containing chitosan (CS) were prepared via a simple solution casting and electrospraying method. The structures of the PVA-CS films were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The morphologies of the films were observed by scanning electron microscopy. The thermal properties of the PVA-CS films were examined by thermogravimetry. The effects of CS contents on the mechanical properties, oxygen permeability values, water vapor permeation levels, and antibacterial behaviors against Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) strains were investigated. Compared to the pure PVA film, the PVA-CS films showed greater elongation at break, lower oxygen permeability, higher water barrier properties, and greater antibacterial activity, especially for the PVA:CS weight ratio of 75:25. The obtained results indicate the PVA-CS film may be a promising material for food packaging applications.
