Abstract

BIODEGRADABLE FABRIC DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING

Dr. G. N. Rameshaiah and Shwetha*

ABSTRACT

Synthetic polymers are important in many branches of industry, particularly in the packaging industry. However, it has an undesirable influence on the environment and causes problems with deposition of waste and consumption. Therefore, there is a tendency to replace the polymer with biodegradable polymer that undergoes a process. Some biodegradable plastics that have been commercialized are starch based plastics, bacteria based plastics, soy based plastics, cellulose based plastics, lignin based plastics and natural fiber reinforced plastics. Production of this kind of material and its introduction to the market is important for the natural environmental. The starch based and starch mixed with agar showed more elasticity, strength, compatibility and stiffness by appearance. The starch with sodium alginate also showed the more elasticity compared to single starch used fabrics. The fabric was degraded when it is exposed to heat or above 70O C temperature. The fabric was degraded by the Gram negative microorganisms.
