Hydrogels are a kind of three dimensional polymeric network system which has a significant
amount of water imbibing capacity despite being soluble in it. Because of the potential …

The majority of materials used for short‐term and disposable packaging application are non‐
biodegradable which are not satisfying the demands in environmental safety and …

The development of commercially viable “green products” based on natural resources for
both matrices and reinforcements for a wide range of applications is on the rise. This effort …

Cellulosic fibres reinforced composite blend films of starch/poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) were
prepared by using citric acid as plasticizer and glutaraldehyde as the cross-linker. The …

Starch is a natural polymer which possesses many unique properties and some shortcoming
simultaneously. Some synthetic polymers are biodegradable and can be tailor-made easily …

Polylactic acid (PLA) and Starch are both bio-based biodegradable polymers that have
properties that are complementary to each other. PLA/starch blend exploits the good …

In this paper, a dynamic impregnating device, which can generate supersonic vibration with
the vacuum-adsorbing field, was used to prepare the hybrid graphene oxide …

We improved the recyclability of mixed poly (ethylene-terephthalate)(PET) and poly (lactic
acid)(PLA) bottle waste. We made uncompatibilized and compatibilized PET/PLA blends of …

Biopolymers are fourth generation packaging materials. Due to the shortcomings of the
petrochemical‐based polymers and their threat to the environment, biopolymers are seen as …

Research toward bio‐based and biodegradable polymers has received a lot of attention
these last years, due to environmental concerns and the need to replace fossil resources …
