Bivalves aquaculture is already considered a very sustainable for of food production and
might become an essential pillar on which to develop future global food security. However …

Biomass is defined as organic matter from living organisms represented in all kingdoms. It is
recognized to be an excellent source of proteins, polysaccharides and lipids and, as such …

The present work aims to enhance the use of agricultural byproducts for the production of
bio-composites by melt extrusion. It is well known that in the production of such bio …

In this work, eco-sustainable blown films with improved performance, suitable for flexible
packaging applications requiring high ductility, were developed and characterized. Films …

This study explores the potential of mussel shells (MS) as biogenic fillers in polymer
composites. The chemical composition and crystal structures of MS were characterised. To …

In this work, processability and mechanical performances of bio-composites based on poly
(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)(PHBV) containing 5, 10, and 15 wt% of bran …

A polybutyleneadipate-co-butylenetherephthalate (PBAT) sample, commercially known as
Ecoflex®, was processed via melt extrusion with CaCO3 nanoparticles coated with a …

Waste mussel (Mytilus galloprovencis) and clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) shells can be
used as a bio-filler in polymeric composites. In this work, powdered shell wastes were …

BACKGROUND In this study, biodiesel was prepared from chicken fat via a
transesterification reaction using Mussel shells as a catalyst. Pretreatment of chicken fat was …

The potential use of paper sludge (PS) as filler in the production of bio-composites based on
poly lactic acid (PLA) and polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) was investigated …
