Preparation and Properties of Cellutose-Alginic Acid Interpolymeric Complex Films

1Introduction General synthetic polymers such as polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene etc. have been produced and used in large quantities. They are very cheap, but their wastes are difficult to decompose in nature so to cause environmental pollution . In order to overcome such disadvantage, various kinds of biodegradable synthetic polymers such as polyactic acid, aliphatic polyester, polyvinyl alcohol complexes etc. have been researched[1]. However, they are expensive, so cannot be manufactured on large scale. Biopolymers such as starch and cellulose have been used as raw materials to prepare biodegradable polymer materials[1,2]. Starch derivatives and starch containing materials have been prepared to obtain relatively cheap biodegradable polymer materials, but their water proofness is not so good[2].
