Advantages and challenges of Pickering emulsions applied to <scp>bio?based</scp> films: a <scp>mini?review</scp>

The strategy of adding hydrophobic compounds to bio-based films (usually based on hydrophilic matrices), forming containing emulsions, is a technique that has been used improve some physical properties (such as reducing water solubility and vapor permeability) / or impart properties, such antioxidant antimicrobial effects by carrying active components would otherwise be insoluble in matrices. Although Pickering emulsions have reported presenting greater stability when compared with surfactant-stabilized little known about the drying (which important for film applications). Anyway, several studies indicated are interesting systems barrier coatings, act carriers components. On other hand, tensile those usually impaired presence emulsions. objective this review present recent developments future perspectives loaded © 2020 Society Chemical Industry
