Polylactic acid/akermanite biocomposite films for food packaging applications

Journal of Polymer Research
This study investigated the incorporation of akermanite into a polylactic acid (PLA) matrix using the solution casting method, with akermanite ratios ranging from 0.05% to 2% w/w. To facilitate even distribution of akermanite, 5 wt% triacetin was used as a plasticizer.

Synthesis and Characterization of Biocomposite Films of Methylcellulose-Based with Nanocellulose

Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry, 2022
This study explores the development of nontoxic biocomposite films from methylcellulose (MC) and crystalline nanocellulose (CNC). First, a methylcellulose sample (Tylose MH 50) of concentration 1.5% (w/w) and crystalline nanocellulose type-1 samples of different concentrations were prepared to obtain these biocomposite films.
