Formation of poly(propylene)-based biocomposite films and their use in the attachment of methylene blue

Abstract

Biocomposite PP-g-PAAc-CS films based on PP were generated and utilized as support of methylene blue, a thiazidic dye. Using a photograft polymerization of acrylic acid, the PP film was functionalized with carboxyl groups (PP-g-PAAc), which attached chitosan by electrostatic bond. A longer poly(acrylic acid) chain or a higher CS immobilization temperature led to a higher chain interpenetration and crosslinking reaction. Immobilized MB confirmed to possess redox activity from its reaction with ascorbic acid, where the dye decomposition rate (R0d) increases together with the chain interpenetration, then decreasing with the increase in the crosslinking degree. interpenetration, then decreasing with the increase in the crosslinking degree. bond.
