THE STUDY OF RHEOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR AND SAFETY METRICS OF NATURAL BIOPOLYMERS

Foods and Raw Materials, 2016
Traditionally, plastics are made from artificial synthetic polymers. These polymers have an unnatural structure, that’s why they are not biodegradable. Based on the latest advances in polymers structure studies, the article sets forward new biodegradable

Utilization of bamboo biochar as a multi-functional filler of flexible poly(L-lactide)-b-poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(L-lactide) bioplastic

Scientific Reports
Biodegradable poly(L-lactide)-b-poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(L-lactide) (PLLA-PEG-PLLA) triblock copolymer could potentially be used in bioplastic applications because it is more flexible than PLLA.

Preparation of Sustainable Alginate/Chitosan Blend Films by Thermo-Compression for Diverse Applications

Gels
In this work, sodium alginate/chitosan (SA/CS) blend films were prepared by thermo-compression for the first time. Glycerol and lactic acid were used as de-structuring agents for SA and CS, respectively.
