A nanolaminate consists of two or more layers of material with nanometric dimensions that are physically or chemically bonded to each other. Starch based edible films present suitable characteristics for food protection, ...

Proteins contain hydrophilic groups, which can bind to water molecules through hydrogen bridges, resulting in water vapour adsorption. An increase in the degree of cross-linking can be a method to improve the cohesiveness ...

Research on biodegradable films is a topic of strategical interest in the field of food science and technology. These films are membranes conformed by biopolymers that interact strongly with water and they generally require ...

The present study evaluates: the performance of tensile adhesion and water and vapour permeability of mortar rendering systems.The study can highlight the following conclusions: the traditional cement, lime and sand mortars ...

Biopolymer-based films are an alternative to replace plastic packaging. These films may be produced from various raw materials, such as polysaccharides and proteins. Among them, the most used are starch and gelatin, which ...
