Effect of water on the oxygen barrier properties of poly(ethylene terephthalate) and polylactide films
Abstract
The aim of this work was to study the variations in the oxygen diffusion, solubility, and permeability coefficients of polylactide (PLA) films at different temperatures (5, 23, and 40°C) and water activities (0–0.9). The results were compared with the oxygen diffusion, solubility, and permeability coefficients obtained for poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films under the same experimental conditions. The water sorption isotherm for PLA films was also determined. Diffusion coefficients were determined with the half‐sorption time method. Also, a consistency test for continuous‐flow permeability experimental data was run to obtain the diffusion coefficient with the lowest experimental error and to confirm that oxygen underwent Fickian diffusion in the PLA films. The permeability coefficients were obtained from steady‐state permeability experiments. The results indicated that the PLA films absorbed very low amounts of water, and no significant variation of the absorbed water with the temperature was found. The oxygen permeability coefficients obtained for PLA films (2–12 × 10−18 kg m/m 2 s Pa) were higher than those obtained for PET films (1–6 × 10−19 kg m/m 2 s Pa) at different temperatures and water activities. Moreover, the permeability coefficients for PLA and PET films did not change significantly with changes in the water activity at temperatures lower than 23°C. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
