Background. Packaging materials are responsible for approximately 40% of the produced
plastics while food packaging is the number one end user of such materials. Due to the …

Plastic pollution is a significant concern nowadays due to wastes generated from non‐
biodegradable and non‐renewable synthetic materials. In particular, most plastic food …

Stabilization of PVA/chitosan nanofibres have been investigated in this work. For this
purpose, three stabilization treatments were adopted; methanol, thermal, and …

Non-degradable plastic places a serious burden on the environment, so consumers and

This paper demonstrates the fabrication of silk nanodisc (SND) dispersed chitosan (CS)
based new edible coating as a candidate for superior thermal, hydrophobic, optical …

Silk fibroin, a biodegradable component of silk, is increasingly used for various applications
and studied intensively. Recently, a technique for preparing nanofibers without using …

Natural antioxidants can be incorporated into polymers to the production of active
packaging, preventing the formation of off-flavors and undesirable textures in foods …

Biodegradable composite plastics with better performance can replace synthetic polymer
materials in packaging fields such as food and industry. In this study, solvent casting …

Nanofiber scaffolds of polyvinyl alcohol, silk fibroin from Bombyx mori cocoons, and silver
nanoparticles were developed as a substrate for MG-63 growth. The fiber morphology …

The current study deals with the fabrication and characterization of blended nanofibrous
scaffolds of tropical tasar silk fibroin of Antheraea mylitta and poly (Є-caprolactone) to act as …
