Polylactic acid/zinc oxide biocomposite films for food packaging application
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2016 Although PLA is much more expensive than polyolefins, such as PP and PE, there is a great interest to propose PLA based material as alternative films for food packaging being PLA derivable from natural source, compostable and biodegradable. For this purpose the research has the task to investigate and propose PLA materials with enhanced properties to ...
