Ag-Si3N4 composite films with metal fractions of 20% and 33% were prepared by magnetron sputtering. The Ag particles inside the composite films were less than 5 nm in radius. The optical absorption and near-field enhancement properties of the composite films were measured. On the plots of optical absorption, the extra absorption was observed as well as the surface plasmon resonance absorption. ...

In the current study, whey protein- pullulan- clay nanocomposite films are prepared by casting method. The effect of nanoclay at three concentrations (1%, 3% and 5%) on physical properties such as moisture content, solubility in water, water vapor permeability and transparency of whey protein- pullulan composite films investigated. The results show that the effect of nanoparticles on composite ...

Four kinds of edible composite films based on chitosan combined with additional substances (konjac glucomannan, cassava starch, maltodextrin and gelatin) the addition lysozyme were prepared used as packaging materials for Mongolian cheese. The evaluated using scanning electron microscopy Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. physicochemical properties all films, including thickness, viscosit...

there has been a renewed interest in edible films made of renewable and natural polymers such as protein, polysaccharide and lipids. natural polymers derived from natural sources like food protein, offer the greatest opportunities because of their biodegradability and their ability to supplement nutritional value of foods. faba bean is a valuable source of protein and is cultivated in large qua...

In this work, TiO2/Ti composite films were fabricated by 2-setp MCT and the following high temperature oxidation. Antibacterial activity of the composite films treated by ultrasonic cleaning to increase the performance reliability was examined. The prepared TiO2/Ti composite films showed high photocatalytic activity in the degradation of methylene blue solution. It is obvious that TiO2/Ti compo...

Background: Edible film is a food packaging that can be eaten directly and have protection function of outside contamination. The purpose of this research is to know how about the effect of using a glycerol plasticizer to film whey-konjac edible films that enriched with clove essential oil. Methods: A completely randomized design was used by different clove essential oil including P10, 0% clov...

Mucilage of Opuntia ficus-indica (OFI) was extracted and characterized by its composition and molecular weight distribution. Mucilage film-forming dispersions were prepared under different pHs (3, 4, 5.6, 7, and 8) and calcium concentration (0% and 30% of CaCl(2), with respect to mucilage's weight), and their particle size determined. Mucilage films with and without calcium (MFCa and MF, respec...
