Polyethylene (PE) is the most used thermoplastic commodity as a consequence of its convenient cost-processing-performance relationship and it can be used in the form of films for food, goods and farming packaging. On the ...

Technological innovations in packaging are intended to prevent microbiological contaminations for ensuring food safety and preservation. In this context, researchers have investigated the antimicrobial effect of low-density ...

Candida antarctica lipase B was immobilized for the first time (at the author's knowledge) onto linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) films. Polymer films were previously bonded to a commercial aluminum sheet using a ...

Composites produced during the in situ chemical polymerization of aniline on top of a poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) film, in different conditions, were studied by open-circuit potential (Voc), ultraviolet-visible, and ...

The interaction between polymer and lipid vesicles may result in stabilization and formation of highly ordered networks, which can mimic biological membranes and be used as drug delivery system. Here we used differential ...

Horticulture makes intensive use of soil and extensive use of polyethylene (PE) sheeting and pesticides, producing an environment where the dynamics between soil and plastics can affect pesticide fate. We have determined ...

Filmes de polipropileno (PP) e de polietilenos de alta (HDPE) e baixa densidades (LDPE) foram estudados avaliando-se a presença de impurezas e o efluente da lavagem de seus resíduos provenientes tanto de coleta comum ...

In this study fabrication and characterization of transparent nanostructured composite films based on cellulose triacetate (CTA) and poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(propylene oxide)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (EPE) triblock copolymer ...
