Abstract

Konjac glucomannan(KGM)/poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA)/Na+ modified rectorite (Na+REC) nanocomposite films were obtained by using a casting/solvent evaporation method. The structures and microstructures of KGM/PVA/Na+REC composite films were analyzed by FTIR, XRD, SEM and TEM. A wide variety of material characteristics for the KGM/PVA/Na+REC composite films were investigated, including the mechanical property, optical transmittance and thermal stability. The results revealed that by adding PVA more well-intercalative/exfoliated structure of composite film was obtained. As a result, the KGM/PVA/Na+REC composite film at low Na+REC and PVA content exhibited an improvement in mechanical properties and thermal stability due to a reinforcement effect. In vitro drug-controlled release studies showed a slower and more continuous release for KGM/PVA/Na+REC composite film in comparison with KGM/Na+REC composite film.
