Global pollution by plastics derived from petroleum has fostered the development of carbon–
neutral, biodegradable bioplastics synthesized from renewable resources such as modern …

Over the years, the world was not paying strict attention to the impact of rapid growth in
plastic use. This has led to unprecedented amounts of mixed types of plastic waste entering …

Currently, petroleum-based synthetic plastics are used as a key barrier material in the paper-
based packaging of several food and nonfood goods. This widespread usage of plastic as a …

Cellulose, starch, chitosan, polylactic acid, and polyhydroxyalkanoates are seen as
promising alternatives to conventional plastics in food packaging. However, the application …

Additive manufacturing has attracted much attention in the last decade as a principal
growing sector of complex manufacturing. Precise layer-by-layer patterning of materials …

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biobased product and a compostable aliphatic polyester that has
been studied for use in several applications over the last decade. Many properties of PLA …

Polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) are two biopolyesters obtained from
renewable resources like corn or sugar under bacterial fermentation. PLA is the most widely …

Polysaccharides are the most abundant naturally available carbohydrate polymers;
composed of monosaccharide units covalently connected together. Chitosan is the most …

The cellulose-reinforced poly (lactic acid)(PLA)-based films have been of great interest for
use as food packaging material. However, the semicrystalline behavior of both biobased …

High purity cellulose was isolated from durian rind in this study. Cellulose films were
successfully regenerated from cellulose solution in lithium chloride/N, Ndimethylacetamide …
