Improving Photocatalytic and Antibacterial Properties of Zein/Polyvinyl Alcohol Polymer Composite Film by Dispersing TiO2 Nano ParticlesBy T. B. Gelaw, B. K. Sarojini
Abstract: Zein/polyvinyl alcohol/nano-TiO2 composite film was effectively blended using a solution casting method. Mechanical, photocatalytic, and antibacterial properties of the composite film were evaluated. The breaking elongation of the composite film increased up to the maximum loading of 0.4% of nano-TiO2. The humidity and moisture content relationship was estimated with standard modified models of Halsey, Oswin, Chung Pfost, and Henderson. It was found that the Halsey model was the most suitable …
