Degradation of modified TPS in natural and industrial compost
PublicationThe aim of the study was to determine in the pilot studies the degree of decomposition of modified by us thermoplasic starch (potato starch).Commercial and new obtained by us foils were tested in an open roofing at normal weather conditions. The most visible changes were observed in TPS modified by epoxidized soybean oil and arabic gum contrary to commercial foils where there was no mass change observed.

Biodetoriation of Mater_Bi Y Class in compost with sewage sludge.
PublicationPrzedmiotem badań była mieszanina skrobi termoplastycznej z pochodną celulozy produkowana przez firmę Novamont pod nazwą handlową Mater Bi Y. Próbki o wymiarach 1,7 x 8 X 0,1 cm umieszczano w kompoście naturalnym z oczyszczalni ścieków w Gdyni. Badania po 4-ch miesiącach wykazały 96% ubytku wagi, co oznacza powolniejszą degradację w porównaniu do testów standardowych stosowanych przez firmę Novamont.

Study of thermal property changes of biopol/polyamide 11 blends during biodegradation in compost.
PublicationPrzeprowadzone badania dotyczą zmian struktury krystalicznej podczas biodegradacji mieszanin polimerowych z udziałem PHBV, gdzie zależność między strukturą a podatnością na biodegradację związane są nie tylko ze stopniem krystaliczności PHBV ale także z budową faz składników mieszaniny. Wyniki pozwalają stwierdzić, że mieszaniny PA11/PHBV zawierające 60% kopoliestru PHBV(otrzymane przy użyciu wytłaczarki dwuślimakowej) charakteryzują...

Preparation and characterization of biodegradable and compostable PLA/TPS/ESO compositions
PublicationIn this study, biodegradable and compostable compositions, derived from totally natural feedstock/raw materials, namely polylactide (PLA), potato thermoplastic starch (TPS) and plant glycerin have been made by melt extrusion with epoxydized soybean oil (ESO) as reactive modifier in order to improve PLAs ductility and reduce the products cost without compromising biodegradation. The obtained PLA/mTPS(0,5ESO)[75/25] and PLA/ mTPS(2ESO)[75/25]...

Spatial distribution of CO2, O2, CO, NO and temperature within a biowaste composting pile
Open Research DataThe dataset contains the color-coded isophlets illustrating the spatial distribution of gas concentrations (CO, CO2, O2 and NO) and the temperature in biowaste composting pile during 6 weeks of process. Four cross sections and two longitudinal cross sections (the left and right sides of the pile) were made using Surfer 10 software (Golden Software,...

PVA-Based Films with Strontium Titanate Nanoparticles Dedicated to Wound Dressing Application
PublicationBioactive materials may be applied in tissue regeneration, and an example of such materials are wound dressings, which are used to accelerate skin healing, especially after trauma. Here, we proposed a novel dressing enriched by a bioactive component. The aim of our study was to prepare and characterize poly(vinyl alcohol) films modified with strontium titanate nanoparticles. The physicochemical properties of films were studied,...

Technological aspects of manufacturing polymer packaging materials degradable in seawater environment
PublicationIn recent years, the number of polymer materials used in the food packaging market was growing extremely fast. This contributed to depletion of non-renewable resources and more intense degradation of the environment due to resistant polymer. Therefore, such a dramatic situation has forced researchers to look for biodegradable materials, decomposable under action of microorganism. Currently, only a small number of researches examine...
