    Modification of diss fibers for biocomposites based on recycled Low-Density polyethylene and polypropylene blends
    (Springer, 2019) Touati, Zohra; Boulahia, Hakima; Belhaneche-Bensemra, Naima; Massardier, Valérie
    The aim of this work is the valorization of diss fibers with recycled and regenerated low-density polyethylene (rLDPE) for the development of biocomposites based on blends of rLDPE polypropylene (PP) and diss fibers. The diss fibers were characterized by laser granulometer and FTIR spectroscopy. Two PP/rLDPE blends of different compositions (50/50 and 75/25) were prepared. These polymer blends were reinforced by nano-Si particles and compatibilizers which were investigated using three compatibilizers: maleic anhydride functionalized ethylene copolymer rubber (MAC), maleic anhydride functionalized ethylene copolymer rubber/SiO2 (MAC/SiO2), and maleic anhydride functionalized ethylene copolymer rubber/SiO2/ionic liquid (MAC/SiO2/IL). The thermal properties of the blends were studied using differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. Their crystallinity was investigated by X-ray diffraction and their morphology by scanning electron microscopy, while mechanical properties were evaluated by tensile testing. The best tensile properties were obtained for the PP/rLDPE (75/25) blend. A significant increase of the Young’s modulus, stress at break, and elongation at break was obtained with the three compatibilizers. MAC acted as a compatibilizer of both polymers, resulting in improved interfacial adhesion which increased tensile properties. Finally, the effect of diss fiber surface modification on the properties of PP/rLDPE blends was considered. The results showed a modification of tensile properties and a satisfactory interfacial adhesion between diss fibers and polymer blends. Furthermore, thermal stability was not significantly decreased by the addition of 5 wt% diss fibers

    Analysis and quantitative estimation of phenolic antioxidants in polypropylene packaging for fat products
    (Freund Publishing House, 2018) Baloul, Hakim; Belhaneche-Bensemra, Naima; Bernaldo De Quirós, Ana Rodriguez; Sendon, Raquel
    The aim of this work was to study the interactions between polypropylene (PP) food packaging for fatty products (margarine) and food simulant. For this purpose, a simulant (olive oil) was used in two different temperatures (20°C and 40°C). The interaction phenomena were investigated according to the rate of mass variation of PP samples with time and by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results showed the presence of two phenomena – migration of additives and sorption of the simulant, with the phenomena more pronounced at 40°C. Furthermore, the HPLC analysis identified the presence of Irganox 1010 and Irgafos 168 as antioxydants and allowed to carry out a kinetic study of Irganox 1010 migration. The concentration of Irganox 1010 decreased from 13.35 to 4.76 mg/kg at a temperature of 40°C and to 5.85 mg/kg at a temperature of 20°C after 10 days of contact with olive oil. The Irgafos 168 migration could not be evaluated because it is very sensitive to oxidation.
