4. DEFINITION OF BIOPLASTIC
2023 Univweritas Brawijaya 4
• Plastic that can be used like conventional plastic but will be
destroyed by the activity of microorganisms into the final
product of water and carbon dioxide gas after it is used up
and thrown into the environment.
Pranamuda (2001)
• A material under certain conditions, at a certain time
experiences changes in its chemical structure, which
affects its properties due to the influence of
microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, algae).
Griffin (1994)
• A polymer material that converts to low molecular weight
compounds where at least one step in the degradation
process occurs through natural organism metabolism.
Seals (1994)
• Environmentally friendly plastic, can be decomposed by the
activity of microorganisms, some or almost all of its
components come from renewable raw materials.

Padmawijaya (2016)
5. BIOPLASTIC
2023 Univweritas Brawijaya 5
Bioplastics are plastic
that made wholly or in
part from renewable
biomass sources.
Some bioplastics are
biodegradable or even
compostable.
Widely used :
• Food packaging,
• agriculture and horticulture,
• composting bags and
hygiene
• biomedical,
• structural,
• electrical
• other products

7. BIOPLASTIC BASED ON THEIR
RESOURCES
• Have higher biodegradability, renewability and good oxygen barrier
• Based on starch
• Higher amylose content can strengthen film
• Amylopectin cause low mechanical properties
• Can be improved by using plasticizers (sorbitol and glycerol)
POLYSACHARRIDES
• Functional properties depends on structural heterogeneity, thermal sensitivity and
hydrophilic behaviour of proteins
• Can used proteins from vegetable and animal sources

RESOURCES
• Converting plants sugar into plastic
• Producing plastic inside microorganism
• Growing plastic in corn and other crops
• Producing by using fermentation process of microorganism
BIOTECHNOLOGICAL INVENTIONS
• Made from synthetic source (petroleum)
PETROCHEMICAL

9. BIOPLASTIC COMPONENTS
Hydrocolloid Proteins (casein, soy protein, wheat gluten) and carbohydrates (starch, gum )
very good for use as an inhibitor of the transfer of oxygen, carbon dioxide &
fat
Very good at improving the structure of the film so that it is not easily
destroyed
Lipids wax, fatty acids, monoglycerides and resin
as a water vapor barrier, or a coating agent to increase the shine of candy
products
limited because it produces poor film structural strength
Composite lipid and hydrocolloid components
increasing resistance to water evaporation and hydrocolloids themselves can
provide durability

10. MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
Elongation (Percent
Elongation)
• the length of the film when it is pulled until it breaks
• related to the elasticity of the film
• The greater the elongation value of the film, the more
elastic it is and the better the plastic
Tensile Strength
• the maximum pull that can be achieved until the film
remains in place before breaking/tearing
• determine the amount of force required to achieve
maximum tension in each area of the film
• Depends on the concentration and type of material
making up the film, especially the structural cohesion
properties.

12. • The periodic table showing the metals (blue), non-metals (green) and intermediate (orange)
elements.
• Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, opaque to visible light, and have a familiar
metallic lustre.

13. BIOMETAL
Metallic materials are normally combinations of
metallic elements.
Have large numbers of nonlocalized electrons
not bound to particular atoms properties of
metals
Metal can be formed and machined easily
usually are long-lasting materials.
Metal do not react easily with other elements.
Metals such as iron and aluminum can form compounds
readily (such as ores) so they must be processed to
extract base metals.
Can react with chemicals in the environment such
as iron and oxygen that form iron-oxide.

14. • One model of a metal, positive ions are surrounded by a sea or cloud of electrons.
• ‘free electrons’ are not bound to any particular metal ion but are free to move around within the
structure.
• It is these ‘free electrons’ that result in some of the typical properties of a metal including the good
conductance of heat and electricity, and the metallic lustre of a polished surface.

Malleable or ductile (high plasticity)
Resistant to fracture (tough)
Excellent conductors of electricity and heat
Opaque to visible light

19. THE MAIN CRITERIA IN SELECTION OF
METAL-BASED MATERIALS
• The main criteria in selection of metal-based materials for biomedical applications
• their excellent biocompatibility,
• convenient mechanical properties,
• good corrosion resistance, and
• low cost.
• In comparison to polymers,
• metals have higher ultimate tensile strength and elastic modulus
• lower strains at failure
• In comparison to ceramics
• metals have lower strengths and elastic modulus
• higher strains to failure
