A mistura de polímeros buscando obter materiais com diferentes propriedades mecânicas e degradativas pode ser um caminho para facilitar a adesão microbiana na matriz polimérica e contribuir para alterar o tempo de degradação desses materiais em aterros sanitários. Este trabalho teve como objetivo investigar a biodegradação de filmes de blendas de PP/PCL obtidos por fusão e PVC/PCL, PVA/PCL e PVA/PVC obtidos por casting, utilizando microrganismos do solo e de chorume, através dos métodos de respirometria de Bartha, Espectroscopia de Absorção no infravermelho (FTIR), Calorimetria Exploratória Diferencial (DSC), Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura (MEV), Medidas de ângulo de contato e Perda de massa. Os resultados mostraram que no solo, os filmes sofreram biodegradação oxidativa. Com a adição de chorume, ocorreu uma erosão superficial e diminuição da biodegradação, devido à mudança no sistema microbiano. A biodegradação em todos os filmes foi influenciada pela morfologia da matriz polimérica (principalmente a cristalinidade). O PVA favorece a biodegradação do PVC e o PVC inibe a degradação do PVA. Efeito semelhante ocorre com PVC/PCL. O PCL favorece a biodegradação do PVC na blenda e o PVC inibe a rápida biodegradação do PCL. A presença de grupos ésteres na matriz polimérica é fundamental para a ação microbiana, isto é, hidrólise enzimática dos mesmos. Um aumento de cristalinidade do polímero também é considerado um processo degradativo. / Plastics are being increasingly used in our daily life in different types of products, however, these materials are very persistent in the environment, which increases the amount of plastic waste deposited in landfills. The mixture of polymers in different mechanical and degradative properties can be a way to facilitate the microbial adhesion in the polymeric matrix and help to modify the time of degradation of these materials in landfills. This work aims to investigate the biodegradation of films from blends of PP / PCL, obtained by melting and PVC / PCL, PVA / PCL and PVA / PVC, obtained by casting, using microorganisms soil and chorume, through methods of Bartha's respirometry, Spectroscopy infrared absorption (FTIR), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), angle of contact and loss of weight. The results showed that in the soil, the films have undergone oxidative degradation. With the addition of chorume, there was a surface erosion and decreased degradation, due to the change in the microbial system. The degradation in all films was influenced by the morphology of the polymer matrix (mainly crystallinity). The degradation of PVA helps the blend (PVA/PVC) degradation and the PVC inhibits the degradation of the PVA in the blend. Similar effect occurs with PVC/PCL. PCL helps the degradation of PVC in the blend and PVC inhibits the degradation of the PCL. The esther group presence in polymer matrix is fundamental to allow the microbial action, i.e., enzymatic hydrolysis of these groups. Polymer crystallinity increase is considered a degradative process.

Avaliação do potencial biocatalítico de fungos endófitos de espécies vegetais do Cerrado /Medeiros, João Batista de. January 2010 (has links)
Resumo: A área de biocatálise está em franco desenvolvimento e fungos associados a espécies vegetais dos biomas brasileiros são biocatalisadores em potencial, praticamente inexplorados. Nesse contexto, o presente trabalho descreve a avaliação do potencial biocatalítico de 7 fungos endófitos isolados de espécies vegetais do Cerrado. Foi avaliada a capacidade dos micro-organismos Nigrospora sphaerica, Schizophyllum commune, Phomopsis sp., Tricoderma viridae, Aspergillus versicolor, Xylaria sp. e Phomopsis stipata biotransformarem ou biodegradarem os substratos ácido gálico e cassina. O estudo de tolerância dos micro-organismos aos substratos permitiu selecionar as concentrações nas quais o ácido gálico (1,0 g L-1) e a cassina (0,5 g L-1) foram adicionados ao meio reacional na etapa de biotransformação/biodegradação. Todos os micro-organismos estudados se mostraram capazes de biotransformar o substrato ácido gálico. Os 26 produtos biotransformados são mais apolares que o composto de partida e foram encontrados na fase aquosa ou no micélio microbiano. Em relação à cassina, os endófitos Schizophyllum commune, Tricoderma viridae e Xylaria sp. não a metabolizaram, mesmo após 14 dias de incubação.Os endófitos Nigrospora sphaerica e Aspergillus versicolor a biodegradaram, enquanto que Phomopsis stipata e Phomopsis sp. a biotransformaram em 6 e 3 novos compostos, respectivamente. Os produtos de biotransformação do ácido gálico e da cassina terão suas estruturas determinadas em trabalhos futuros, e a partir desses dados poderemos inferir as reações que os fungos são capazes de realizar, e consequentemente sugerir as atividades enzimáticas presentes nos fungos endófitos estudados / Abstract: The area of biocatalysis is developing fast and fungi associated with plant species of Brazilian biomes are potential biocatalysts, virtually unexplored. In this context, this work describes the evaluation of biocatalytic potential of seven fungal endophytes isolated from species of the Cerrado. We evaluated the ability of the micro-organisms Nigrospora sphaerica, Schizophyllum commune, Phomopsis sp., Tricoderma viridae, Aspergillus versicolor, Xylaria sp. and Phomopsis stipata to biotransform or biodegrade the substrates gallic acid and cassine. The study of microorganisms tolerance to the substrate allowed to select the concentrations in which the gallic acid (1.0 g L-1) and cassine (0.5 g L-1) were added to the reaction medium in step biotransformation/ biodegradation. All microorganisms studied are quite capable of biotransform substrate gallic acid. The 26 biotransformed products are less polar than the starting compound and were found in the aqueous phase or microbial mycelium. In relation to the cassine, the endophytes Schizophyllum commune, Tricoderma viridae and Xylaria sp. didn't metabolize it, even after 14 days of incubation. Endophytes Nigrospora sphaerica and Aspergillus versicolor biodegraded the cassine, while Phomopsis stipata and Phomopsis sp. biotransformed this substrat in six and three new compounds, respectively. The biotransformation products of gallic acid and cassine will have their structures determined in future studies, allowing to infer which biotransformations occurred, and therefore suggest which the enzyme activities are found in the fungal endophyte studied / Orientador: Angela Regina Araujo / Coorientador: Lucimar Pinheiro Rosseto / Banca: Daniela Alonso Bocchini Martins / Banca: Edson Rodrigues Filho / Mestre
