摘 要：Biodegradable starch/poly（vinyl alcohol）/nano-titanium dioxide（ST/PVA/nano-TiO2）nanocomposite films were prepared via a solution casting method.Their biodegradability,mechanical properties,and thermal properties were also studied in this paper.A general full factorial experimental approach was used to determine efective parameters on the mechanical properties of the prepared films.ST/PVA/TiO2nanocomposites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy（SEM）and X-ray difraction（XRD）.The results of mechanical analysis show that ST/PVA films with higher contents of PVA have much better mechanical properties.In thermal analysis,it is found that the addition of TiO2nanoparticles improves the thermal stability of the films.SEM micrographs,taken from the fracture surface of samples,illustrate that the addition of PVA makes the film softer and more flexible.The results of soil burial biodegradation indicate that the biodegradability of ST/PVA/TiO2films strongly depends on the starch proportion in the film matrix.The degradation rate is increased by the addition of starch in the films.
