dc.description.abstractThe consumption of the plastic materials for packagings in everyday life has been increased. Low density polyethylene (LDPE) is a primary polymer for film packaging production. One of the innovative film developments is fragrant film with essential oil as additive. However, essential oil is easy to evaporate during process and thus _-cyclodextrin is required for retaining the essential oils. In addition, compatibilizer such as polyethylene-graft-maleic anhydride (PE-g-MA) is necessary to enhance the miscibility between polymer and additives. The effect of compatibilizer on morphological and mechanical of LDPE thin films incorporated with sweet basil oil is investigated. The _- cyclodextrin, sweet basil oil and PE-g-MA as compatibilizer are compounded with LDPE using twin-screw extruder. Miscibility of LDPE and _-cyclodextrin is studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. It is confirmed that interaction between _-cyclodextrin and PE-g-MA has taken place. Films are produced by cast-film extruder and then are characterized by universal testing machine. Young's modulus, tensile strength and elongation at break of LDPE film with sweet basil oil has been increased compared with neat LDPE film. © CCM 2020 - 18th European Conference on Composite Materials.
