Biodegradable Pots for Seedlings
(Materials Research Foundation, 2020)
Biodegradable containers are environmentally friendly options to plastic pots commonly used in nursery and greenhouse activities. The use of plantable and compostable pots based on renewable and natural materials derived ...
Biodegradable packaging applied to dairy products
(John Wiley & Sons Inc., 2017)
Dairy products are highly prone to oxidation and microbial growth and require packaging with low oxygen permeability to assure shelf life. This chapter focuses on the recent research concerning biobased biodegradable ...
Performance of Bio-Based polymeric agricultural mulch films
(Springer, 2019)
In order to improve yields and crop traits, polymeric films are commonly used to cover soils like agricultural mulches. Its use provides important benefits to farmers and the environment, as they maintain humidity, temperature ...
Biodegradable nanocomposites based on Starch, PCL and their blends
(Nova Science Publishers, 2008)
In this work the preparation, characterization and mechanical properties of biodegradable polymers/clay nanocomposites have been reviewed. Three different matrices were used: starch, polycaprolactone and a commercial blend ...
Development of biodegradable products from modified starches
(Elsevier, 2017)
Structural modifications of native starches could be considered as an alternative to obtain derivatives with enhanced properties, relevant in the materials field. In this chapter, the use of several modified starches from ...
Biocomposites of polyhydroxyalkanoates and lignocellulosic components: a focus on biodegradation and 3D printing
(Springer, 2021)
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are defined as natural and biodegradable biopolymers obtained by microbial synthesis. PHAs are classified as short-chain length (3-5 carbon monomers), medium-chain length (6-14 carbon monomers), ...
PLA-Based Nanocomposites Reinforced with CNC for Food Packaging Applications: From Synthesis to Biodegradation
(Springer, 2017)
The costs of biobased and biodegradable polymers are generally still much higher than that of their traditional polymer counterparts Frequently used in the food packaging field. Although PLA is currently used in the market ...
Surface chemistry of food, packaging and biopolymer materials
(Elsevier Academic Press, 2005)
This chapter discusses the physicochemical principles of surface phenomena, and provides an overview of the research regarding surface properties of biopolymers used for the manufacturing of biodegradable films. Surface ...
