Abstract
The Temperature-Sensitive-Gel (TSG) is a stimulus-responsive gel whose volume and physical properties change responsive to a temperature. The purpose of this research is to develop a novel temperature-responsive microporous film by adding TSG particles into a polymer composite. The TSG particles were synthesized firstly, which have a melting point of around 60 ° C, a spherical shape with the diameter of from 50 to 300 μm. Then the synthesized TSG particles were blended with linear low density polyethylene/calcium carbonate (LLDPE/CaCO3) composite to prepare microporous TSG/LLDPE/CaCO3 film. In this paper, we discuss the processing and physical properties of TSG/LLDPE/CaCO3 composite film. Our findings confirmed the thermal expansion and shrinkage of TSG in the vicinity of its melting temperature. This behavior enables pores close/open, to provide the TSG/LLDPE/CaCO3 composite film temperature-responsive pore-size-adjustment function to control the gas permeability.
