Evaluation of the Efficiency of a Biobased Reactive Plasticizer on the Morphology and Properties of Sustainable Flexible Films Based on Poly(Lactic Acid) (PLA) Produced by Blown Film Extrusion

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
A comparative investigation of two epoxy additives derived from cardanol (NC513 and NC514s) for production of films based on poly (lactic acid) (PLA), acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC), and poly (butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) clarified their distinct roles, with NC513 mainly acting as a plasticizer, reducing viscosity and enhancing ductility ...

Chlorella vulgaris biorefineries: sustainable biofuels and high‐value carbon capture

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Global reliance on fossil fuels has created urgent economic and environmental challenges, yet large‐scale use of algal biomass remains limited by production costs. Industrial scaling is constrained by inefficient harvesting and the technical challenges of processing recalcitrant cell walls.

Low energy and solvent free technique for the development of nanocellulose based bioplastic from banana pseudostem juice

Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications, 2022
Banana pseudostem juice (BPJ) was fermented through a low energy and solvent free process to produce bioplastics. The fermentation mimicked the nata de coco production process where coconut water (CW) is fermented by Acetobacter xylinum to produce ...
