Thermal decomposition parameters of the bio-based high-density polyethylene (bio-HDPE) films containing different amounts of gallic acid (GA) in terms of onset degradation temperature (Tonset), temperature of maximum degradation (Tdeg), and residual mass at 700 °C.
Film | Tonset (°C) | Tdeg (°C) | Residual mass (%) |
---|---|---|---|
Bio-HDPE | 256.9 ± 1.8 | 427.8 ± 1.3 | 0.22 ± 0.05 |
Bio-HDPE + 0.3GA | 283.9 ± 2.0 | 442.9 ± 1.1 | 0.20 ± 0.04 |
Bio-HDPE + 0.8GA | 291.6 ± 2.1 | 444.6 ± 1.2 | 0.17± 0.05 |
