전분/PVA 블렌드의 기계적 물성에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 인자들을 고려하여 최적화 조건을 조사하였다. 통계적 방법인 다중혼합물 최적법을 사용하였으며, UTM과 인열 강도계를 통하여 블렌드의 인장강도, 파단신율, 초기모듈러스, 인열강도의 측정 결과를 분석하여 전분/PVA 블렌드의 제조 최적 조건을 결정하였다. 최적화 상태의 전분/PVA 블렌드는 농업용 필름의 기계적 물성 중 파단신율을 제외한 나머지 물성이 목표치와 같거나 조금 상회하는 수준을 나타내었다.

Maillard reaction products like melanoidins present in industrial fermentation wastewaters are complex compounds with various functional properties. In this work, novel ultrafiltration (UF) mixed matrix membrane (MMM) composed of polysulfone (PSF) and nanocomposites was prepared through a phase inversion process for the recovery of melanoidins. Nanocomposites were prepared with acid functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as the reinforcing filler for chitosan-thermoplastic starch blend. Higher nanocomposites content in the PSF matrix reduced the membrane permeability and melanoidins retention indicating tighter membrane with surface defects. The membrane surface defects could be sealed with dilute polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solution. The best performing membrane (1% nanocomposites in 18% PSF membrane sealed with 0.25% PVA coating) resulted in uniform melanoidins retention of 98% and permeability of 3.6 L/m2 h bar over a period of 8h. This demonstrates a low fouling PSF membrane for high melanoidins recovery.
