Abstract Poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) is a biodegradable, water-soluble membrane that has low
methanol permeation and reactive chemical functionalities. Modification of these features …

In this work, exfoliated carboxylated graphene (CG) was used to prepare nanocomposite
films of modified polyvinyl alcohol (MPVA) incorporated with maleic anhydride through …

As a novel biodegradable material, poly (vinyl) alcohol (PVA)/starch (ST)/glycerol
(GL)/halloysite nanotube (HNT) nanocomposite films were prepared by solution casting at …

Sweet potato starch and different celluloses were mixed by thermoplastic extrusion and then
thermoplastic starch/cellulose composite films were prepared using a casting method. The …

The study was aimed to improve the properties of starch-based biodegradable films by the
way of polymer blending. The composite films were prepared by incorporating various …

Food packaging is considered an inactive barrier that defends foods from environmental
issues, chemical, and microbiological contaminants. In the current research, bioactive films …

The nanocellulose (NC) synthesized from cotton linters was used as a reinforcement to
develop biocomposite films with improved functionality. The starch films incorporated with …

PVA polymers have been well-known as water-absorbing materials but their brittle nature
hinders their applicability. In this study, we enhanced the strength of hydrogel and its water …

Biodegradable poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA)-Gelatin (Ge)/polyethylene glycol-400 (PEG-400)
films were prepared with various mass% of PEG-400 with respect to PVA. These films were …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) currently receive high interest for cycling water
adsorption applications like adsorption heat transformation for air-conditioning purposes …
