▎ 摘  要

Nanofibrous composite membranes consisting of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), graphene oxide (GO), and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were prepared by and ultrasonic processing, and electrospinning. The performance of the membranes containing different GO-to-ZnO NP mass ratios was comprehensively investigated in terms of density, mechanical properties, water vapor permeability, optical property, biodegradability and antimicrobial properties. The results showed that an appropriate sonication time (30 min) improved the membrane performance; the composite nanofibrous membrane with a GO-to-ZnO NP mass ratio of 3:7 and 30 min sonication exhibited the best performance with a water vapor permeability of (0.62 +/- 0.01) x 10(-2) g.h(-1) m(-2) pa(-1), and strain and stress values of 307.84 +/- 2.96% and 12.82 +/- 0.56 MPa, respectively. Particularly, the UV barrier property of the composite nanofibrous membrane was enhanced. Furthermore, the membrane exhibited strong antibacterial activity against foodborne pathogenic and spoilage bacteria. Thu, it can thus be used as an active food packaging material to ensure the safety of food products and to extend their shelf-life.
