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 ...
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 ...
Biodegradable and non-retrogradable eco-films based onstarch?glycerol with citric acid as crosslinking agent
(Elsevier, 2016-01)
Biodegradable and non-retrogradable starch-glycerol based films were obtained using citric acid (CA) as crosslinking agent at 75 °C. This material allowed decreasing water vapor permeability (WVP) more than 35%, remained ...
Biodegradable and non-retrogradable eco-films based on starch-glycerol with citric acid as crosslinking agent
(Elsevier, 2016-03)
Biodegradable and non-retrogradable starch-glycerol based films were obtained using citric acid (CA) as crosslinking agent at 75 °C. This material allowed decreasing water vapor permeability (WVP) more than 35%, remained ...
Effect of nanoclay addition on the biodegradability and performance of starch-based nanocomposites as mulch films
(Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2019-06-07)
The biodegradation and performance of potential agricultural mulch films prepared from native and oxidized corn starch nanocomposites with chitosan-modified bentonite were studied under simulated soil test conditions. ...
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 ...
Tensile properties, barrier properties, and biodegradation in soil of compression-Molded gelatin-dialdehyde starch films
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2009-05)
ABSTRACT: Glycerol (Gly)-plasticized gelatin (Ge) films crosslinked with dialdehyde starch (DAS) as environmentally friendly crosslinking agent were successfully produced by compression molding, demonstrating the capacity ...
Characterization of biodegradable/non-compostable films made from cellulose acetate/corn starch blends processed under reactive extrusion conditions
(Elsevier, 2019-04)
The manufacture of food packaging materials from food hydrocolloids has been widely studied during the last decades and multiple alternatives have been investigated, with research mainly focusing on improving the physicochemical ...
