Due to the development of nanotechnology and changing customer demands for food safety hygiene, packaging industry is growing significantly. In today's worldwide market, active offers a number advantages over traditional wrapping because its capacity absorb or release substances improve shelf life food. Traditional materials are difficult recycle made from nonrenewable fossil fuels. The biodegr...

Biodegradable, biocompatible polymers are of interest for use in several biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. Based on its biodegradability, biocompatibility, high mechanical strength, and good shaping and molding properties, polylactide (PLA) is frequently utilized as an implantable carrier for drug delivery systems, as well as a surgical repair material. However, its high crystallinity...

Non-biodegradable plastic is one of the biggest environmental problems our lifetime and, considering present societal needs, it will get worse. Consequently, there an urgent need to develop sustainable and renewable alternatives plastic, such as plastic-like materials obtained from biodegradable polymers, namely sulfated polysaccharides, considered most viable alternatives. There also a obtain ...

The mechanical, viscoelastic and structural properties of starch/ poly (butylene adipate co-terephthalate) (PBAT) blown films produced by reactive extrusion were evaluated using citric acid (CA) and maleic anhydride (MA) as compatibilizers. Scanning electron microscopy images showed more homogeneous structure when CA and MA were included in the formulation. The tensile strength (MPa) was improv...
