Abstract

Nano-TiO2 with anionic surface active agent sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) modified, the poly(vinyl alcohol)/sodium alginate/TiO2 composite films were prepared by method of solution blending representing. The structure of the films was analyzed by XRD and SEM. In addition, air permeability rate, swelling ratio, light transmittance, mechanical properties, and antibacterial properties were tested. The results showed that in compound membrane there was a strong force between poly(vinyl alcohol)/sodium alginate and TiO2 particles, indicating that there was good compatibility between the sodium alginate and the poly(vinyl alcohol). The mixed membranes were of good water resistance, tensile strength, and closure. When the titanium dioxide content increased appropriately, they had very good mechanical properties. In addition, the antibacterial properties of composite membrane gradually increased with the increase in the TiO2content.
