Development of a Biodegradable Film Using Paramylon Prepared from Euglena Gracilis
Source abstract
Abstract
A novel biodegradable film was developed using paramylon from Euglena gracilis and its physical properties were investigated. Formic acid was suitable for the preparation of a solution of paramylon, and the film was prepared by casting the solution on a glass plate and drying the cast film in air without using coagulation bath. The film was strengthened through a hot steam treatment at 135°C for 2h. The strength and elastic modulus for the steam-treated film were 49.9 MPa and 1.99 GPa, respectively.
