Abstract

Lacquer sap extracted from lacquer trees exhibits good thermal stabilities and antimicrobial properties. To apply these superior properties to functional packaging, polyurushiol (YPUOH) powders were prepared and blended into LDPE (low density polyethylene) to prepare three different LDPE/YPUOH composite films via a twin screw extruder system. Their morphology, thermal and antimicrobial properties as well as barrier properties of the LDPE/YPUOH composite films were thoroughly investigated to find out applicablities of the films as functional packaging materials. Although the interfacial interaction between LDPE and YPUOH was relatively weak, LDPE/YPUOH composite films exhibited good dispersion of YPUOH in LDPE, resulting in the enhanced thermal stability with YPUOH loading. Due to the good antibacterial property of as-prepared YPUOH, LDPE/YUOH composite films also showed an excellent antibacterial activity (R) of 99.9% against E. coli. Furthermore, the moisture barrier property of LDPE/YPUOH composite films increased with increasing YPUOH contents. Incorporating the relatively low amount of YPUOH in LDPE resulted in the apparent enhancement in thermal stabilities, antibacterial and moisture barrier properties, which made them promising candidates as a functional filler for packaging materials.

옻나무에서 추출한 우루시올은 우수한 열안정상과 항균성을 나타내며, 이러한 특성을 기능성 패키징에 응용하기 위하여 폴리우루시올(YPUOH) 분말을 제조하였다. 제조한 YPUOH 분말과 저밀도 폴리에틸렌(LDPE)을 twin screw extruder system을 이용하여 다른 세 가지 조성의 LDPE/YPUOH 복합필름을 제조하였다. 기능성 패키징 소재로서의 응용 가능성을 알아보기 위하여 LDPE/YPUOH 복합필름에 대한 모폴로지, 열적 특성, 항균 특성, 배리어 특성을 조사하였다. LDPE와 YPUOH의 상호작용은 약하지만, 잘 분산된 복합필름 제조가 가능하였으며, YPUOH의 도입에 따라 열안정성은 증가하였다. YPUOH 분말의 우수한 항균특성은 제조한 LDPE/YPUOH의 복합필름에서도 E. coli에 대하여 99.9%의 우수한 항균활성(R)을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, LDPE/YPUOH 복합필름의 수분에 대한 배리어 특성은 YPUOH의 함량이 증가함에 따라 향상되었으며, 이는 YPUOH가 수분에 대한 배리어성 필러로서 작용하며, 또한 복합필름의 표면 특성을 소수성으로 변화시켜주는 것에 기인한다. 저함량의 YPUOH 도입에 따른 LDPE의 내열성, 항균 특성, 수분에 대한 배리어 특성의 향상은 옻 추출물로 제조한 YPUOH가 패키징 소재의 기능성 필러로서 응용 가능성이 높다는 것을 의미한다.
