Abstract
In this study, random polypropylene (rPP) was compounded with two of monoglycerides, namely, glyceryl monolaurate (GML) and glyceryl monostearate (GMS), as antifogging agents to improve its antifogging performance. rPP film samples were prepared by a film-casting method using a three-roll casting machine after melt blending through a twin screw extruder. With an increase in the monoglyceride content, the melt flow index for rPP films with GML and GMS increased, and their yield strength decreased. The incorporation of GMS in rPP was proven to be more effective in improving its physical properties than was rPP with GML. When GML and GMS were separately added to the rPP film at contents of more than 1 phr and more than 5 phr, respectively, the film exhibited antifogging performance.
