Developing ZnO Nanoparticle embedded Antimicrobial Starch Biofilm for Food Packaging [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Starch based bio-films act as biodegradable packaging material for coating and wrapping food products, which is alternate to the synthetic polymer. Nanoparticles (NPs) are also alternative to antibiotics to target pathogens. Through interaction of nanoparticles with food packaging material the overall quality of the packaged food also get enhanced.

“Biodegradable” Plastics: A Myth of Marketing?
Procedia Manufacturing, 2017 When compared to their petroleum based counterparts, bioplastics can be biodegradable, sustainable, more environmentally friendly (lower greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel usage) and/or should be a renewable option to plastic product production. Despite certain limitations, bioplastics remain a front runner as a suitable replacement for petroleum

Salt‐Compact Albumin as a New Pure Protein‐based Biomaterials: From Design to In Vivo Studies
Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 14, Issue 7, March 14, 2025.A new class of materials built entirely of native albumin protein is designed using a simple protocol based on salt‐assisted compaction, breaking with current crosslinking strategies. This green process leads, surprisingly, to water‐insoluble handable materials with high preservation of their native protein structures and Young's modulus close to that ...
