Plastic materials are widely used in our daily lives in bags, food packaging and other products and applications. This type of material is used because of properties such as low-cost, easy processability, low density, resistance to water and microorganisms, and chemical stability and durability. Due to the last two properties, polymers show low biodegradability causing enviro nmental pollution. As titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been shown to be an efficient photocatalyst, the mixture of plastic with this material has been proven to be a new and useful way to decompose solid polymers in open air. Trititanate nanotubes (TTNT) can also be used as a route for developing TiO2-based nanomaterials with high photocatalytic activity for degradation of gas pollutants. Thus, the present research aims to produce degradable polyethylene polymer (PE) films composed with four types of TiO2-based nanomaterials: TTNT as synthesized (A1), TTNT with thermal post-treatment at 550 Celsius degrees (A5), TTNT with acid post-treatment (A11), and, as a reference, commercial TiO2 nanoparticles from Degussa Company (P25).The main characterization tool was the weight reduction measurement during the degradation process. The films were exposed to artificial UV light under ambient air for 350 hours. Virgin and degraded filmes where characterized by X-ray Diffraction, UV-Vis absorption, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Films with post-treated TTNT showed stronger degradation than films with non-treated loads, but weaker than films containing TiO2. This result was partially assigned to the poor dispersion of the nanomaterials.
