styrene nanocomposites were synthesized by in-situ atom transfer radical polymerization at 110oc. the variations of monomer conversion and the linearity of semilogarithmic kinetic plot, some signs of living polymerizationand constant radical concentration in the reaction medium, were revealed by gas chromatography technique (gc). according to the gel permeation chromatography (gpc) results, the...

a poly(lactic acid) (pla) based nanocomposite active packaging has been developed for the controlled release of tert-butylhydroquinone (tbhq) antioxidant. pla based active films were loaded with tbhq (3%wt) or mixture of modified cellulose nanofiber (mcnf) (8%wt) and tbhq (3%wt) to obtain active and nanocomposite active films, respectively. release studies indicated that the release rate of tbh...
