Polyhydroxybutyrates (PHBs) are a class of biopolymers produced by different microbial
species and are biodegradable and biocompatible in nature as opposed to petrochemically …

The current scenario of environmental pollution caused by non-biodegradable plastic and
depleting non-renewable resources has called upon the need for biodegradable bioplastic …

The surface properties and microstructure of films composed of chemically modified cassava
starches (cross-linked, acetylated and doubly modified) were evaluated in this study. The …

In the present study, in order to improve the properties of nanostarch-based nanocomposite
film for food packaging, a type of nanocomposite film based on corn nanostarch (CNS) as …

A novel strategy for improving wet resistance and bonding properties of starch-based
adhesives using enzymatically polymerized lignosulfonates and carboxylic acids as …

This paper presents the results of a study on the influence of the addition of digestate (DG)
sludge from an agricultural biogas plant on the mechanical properties of the coating …

The potential use of nopal cladode flour (NC) as reinforcing/bioactive agent in cassava
starch-based films was evaluated and compared with the use of propolis extract or lignin …

Thermoplastic starch (TPS) is a potential alternative to non-degradable plastics. However,
the hydrophilic nature and relatively weak mechanical properties is a major hurdle to its …

Blends based on recycled high-density polyethylene (rHDPE) and jackfruit seed starch were
prepared using a melt blending method. A total of three blend systems was studied …

The modification of achira starch a thermoplastic biopolymer is shown. Glycerol and sorbitol,
common plasticizers, were used in the molten state with organic acids such as oleic acid …
