Human society has become increasingly reliant on plastic because it allows for convenient
and sanitary living. However, recycling rates are currently low, which means that the majority …

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 …

Biodegradable polymers (poly (lactic acid)(PLA), etc.) have been severely limited in their
practical applications due to their inherent limitations in performance. Surface coating …

To improve recycled PET (rPET) properties, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) flakes were
modified with different ratios of 4, 4′-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) as a chain …

In this study, lignin was synthesized from the waste leaves of Ficus auriculata obtained after
the extraction of gallic acid. The synthesized lignin was incorporated into PVA films, and the …

Highly acidic condiments such as hot sauce can deteriorate multilayer packaging films. To
date, only a multilayer polymeric film (polyethylene terephthalate/ink/polyethylene/foil …

In order to improve the functionality of natural gelatin films for active food packaging
applications, a combined strategy of crosslinking via Maillard reaction and blending …

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a biodegradable, water-soluble polymer with excellent film
forming properties, commonly studied or used as tablet coating, food packaging or …

Biodegradable polymers suffer from inherent performance limitations that severely limit their
practical application. Their functionalization by coating technology is a promising strategy to …

Abstract Poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) biocomposite films reinforced with cellulose nanofibrils
