3 Polymer: is a macromolecule composed of repeating structural units typically connected by covalent chemical bonds. While polymer in popular usage suggests plastic, the term actually refers to a large class of natural and synthetic materials with a variety of properties.

4 Polymers: : 3 types Thermoplastics: are polymers that turn to a liquid when heated and freeze to a glassy state when cooled. Ex: PE, PP, Nylon, PET, PS Elastomers (Rubber): present crosslinks, but the polymer chains are linear and flexible with high elasticity. Ex: NR (nature rubber) Thermosets: formation of cross links between polymer chains that prevents the melting of the material with a new heating. Ex: Epoxy resin, PU foam

5 Thermoplastics Synthetic Polymers: are essential materials to modern life and are often used in disposable applications, as packaging. This is the origin of a serious problem for the environment. Generally these materials are inert to microbial degradation. There was an increasing in public concern over the harmful effects of petrochemical-derived materials in the environment.

6 Thermoplastics - Biodegradable Polymers In biological systems, biopolymers degrade mainly by enzymatic hydrolysis and to some extent by oxidation; Biodegradable synthetic polymers have been developed which are safe for use by humans and disposal of polymer waste does not arise; Aliphatic polyesters are one important class of biodegradable polymers as several of them are commercially potential biomaterials.

7 Biodegradable Polymers: Poly(hydroxybutyrate) - PHB 3 3 H 2 2 n 3 2 H a microbial polyester; accumulated intracellularly by a large number of microorganisms, presenting biodegradability and biocompatibility. PHB production involves a sustainable process related to the sugar cane. Brazil sugar available at low cost and large quantity; technological process available for fermentation in large-scale.

8 PHB applications: Packaging Biodegradable films Biomaterials Microcapsules of water soluble compounds

9 PHB disadvantages: 1) high degree of crystallinity in such case is quite brittle material absorption by the body is very slow low rate of biodegradation 2) It may suffer degradation when it is kept for a relatively long time at a temperature above melting point, around 180 Window of processing temperature limited H 2 3 reaction of thermal degradation 3 2 H 3 2 3

10 Blends of PHB and epichlorohydrin elastomers PHB - quite brittle material - may suffer thermal degradation epichlorohydrin elastomers can improve the PHB properties PHB/elastomers prepared by casting Even with the immiscibility of the blends and the degradation of PHB phase the elastomeric phase was able to protect the crystalline phase Window of processing temperature limited Lima J A, Felisberti M I.

15 Poly(ethylene ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol) - EVH good thermal stability; high chemical resistance; has been used as a food packaging material due to its excellent gas barrier properties and harmlessness toward health; EVH membranes have attracted research interest in fields of biomedical science because of good blood compatibility and water treatment because of its hydrophilicity.
