Effect of sodium lauroyl sarcosinate on the thermal, optical and moisture absorption properties of polyvinylpyrrolidone film

In the present study, polyvinylpyrrolidone films containing amino acid-based surfactant, namely, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate (SLS), were prepared by casting method. The obtained films (PVP/SLS) were characterized by means of attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-F...

Description
Summary:In the present study, polyvinylpyrrolidone films containing amino acid-based surfactant, namely, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate (SLS), were prepared by casting method. The obtained films (PVP/SLS) were characterized by means of attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), optical properties, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and moisture absorption (MA). ATR-FTIR spectra of PVP/SLS films showed the main bands of PVP. The opacity of PVP films increased with the addition of SLS. Furthermore, moisture absorption of PVP/SLS films were higher than the pristine PVP film. TGA curves displayed that the thermal stability of PVP film decreased after the incorporation of SLS. DSC curves indicated that SLS can be used as plasticizer for PVP.
