Biopolymer films have an increasing share in the packaging material sector due to a number of advantages: availability, cheapness, easy processing, degradability, etc. On other hand, numerous methods been developed optimize their unfavorable properties (weaker mechanical characteristics, hydrophilicity, etc.). This paper examines influence synthesis method on starch-gelatin properties. The film...

starch is a versatile and useful polymer having physicochemical properties that can be altered by chemicals or enzymatic modification and/or physical treatment. native starches possess many disadvantages that decrease their application and industrial use, but could be modified to obtain the desired properties to meet industrial needs for a wide range of starch applications. physically modified ...

High sensitivity and efficient X-ray detectors are needed to promote boost their application as tools in medical diagnostics radiotherapy. Lead halide perovskites have emerged recently a novel class of material for detection. Although 3D possess very interesting optoelectronic properties they suffer from low environmental operational stability. Here strategy based on using starch polymeric temp...

Given recent worldwide environmental concerns, biodegradability, antibacterial activity, and healing properties around the wound area are vital features that should be taken into consideration while preparing biomedical materials such as dressings. Some of available dressings present some major disadvantages. For example, low water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), inadequate exudates absorption,...

Abstract Chemical modification of starch from the chayote root ( Sechium edule Jacq) is carried out with lauric acid and acetic anhydride. The modified characterized by Fourier‐transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) used to formulate edible films. developed films are based on their physicochemical mechanical properties. functiona...
