Abstract

Biobased composite films have been prepared by solvent cast and hot press methods using saturated aliphatic polyester (expressed as HP1) with different loading (i.e., 1 and 3 wt %) of CNF, citrus fiber, and dextrin. HP1 was prepared by acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) polymerization of biobased α,ω-dienes of bis(undec-10-enoate) with isosorbide (M1) using a RuCl2(IMesH2)(CH-2–OiPr–C6H4) (HG2, IMesH2 = 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene) catalyst and subsequent tandem hydrogenation (H2 2.0 MPa, 50 °C, 12 h). The appearance (morphology, transmittance, haze), the thermal properties (including degree of crystallinity by DSC thermograms), and the tensile properties of the fabricated films were evaluated to explore effect of the additives. The prepared composite films by solvent cast and hot press methods were transparent and showed enhancement of tensile strength. The citrus fiber, upcycled product made from the waste residue of squeezed citrus juice and oil, among the other additives showed the highest tensile strength and toughness values irrespective of the molecular weight of the employed polyester or the used fabrication method.
