Water vapor transmission rate was measured on uncoated and ethyfeae-plasma-coated whey (65-93.5% whey protein), on chitosan and starch films and on aluminum-coated chitosan. Surface hydrophobicity was assessed by contact angle measurements, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to characterize the coatings. The water vapor transmission rate through the uncoated polymer films was highest for starch and lowest for chitosan. Whey showed intermediate water permeability, with the sample containing 65% whey-protein having the lowest water vapor transmission rate. An improvement in water vapor barrier properties was observed only for the aluminum-coated sample and not for any of the polyethylene-coated samples. It is observed that the penetrating water caused the substrate to swell and the polyethylene coating layer to crack. According to profilometry, the thickness of the polyethylene coating layer was 0.1-1 μm after 15 min exposure time. The coating was hydrophobic and contained almost exclusively carbons typical of linear or crosslinked hydrocarbons. It is suggested that the observed decrease in hydrophobicity with time during the contact angle measurements is due to the reorientation at the surface of carbonyls present in small amounts in the coating. |
