Abstract :

This research focus on the effects of extracted natural pigments (chlorophyll and anthocyanin) on the secondary (engineering) bonds in the Poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) which play an important role on the physical and chemical properties of polymer. Natural pigments extracted from plants by a simple methods and showed a good agreement with the standard one which characterized by ultraviolet ΓΆΒ?Β? visible spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR). The blend of PVA with pigments where characterized by FTIR, Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC), hardness and density. Hardness of the PVA decreases with the concentration of chlorophyll which indicates it is a perfect plasticizer while anthocyanin showed weak effect, while density of blend showed decreasing by chlorophyll more than that with anthocyanin. This is due to the many hydroxyl groups in both polymer and anthocyanin result in strong hydrogen bonding interactions. Results showed that anthocyanin showed higher depression in glass transition temperature (Tg) of PVA than do chlorophyll due to many hydroxyl groups in anthocyanin which rupture the secondary bonds of PVA as well as anthocyanin more polar and has exchangeable proton comparing with chlorophyll. The energies provided by the pigments to destroy the second bonds as a function of pigments concentration (depressed in Tg values).
