Formulating Bioplastic Composites for Biodegradability, Recycling, and Performance: A Review

, 2020
Society’s wish list for future packaging systems is placing some daunting challenges upon researchers: In addition to protecting contents during storage and shipping, the material must not bio-accumulate, and it should be readily recyclable by using ...

Biodegradable plastic formulated from chitosan of Aristeus antennatus shells with castor oil as a plasticizer agent and starch as a filling substrate

Scientific Reports
Biodegradable plastics are those subjected easily to a degradation process, in which they can be decomposed after disposal in the environment through microbial activity. 30 bioplastic film formulations based only on chitosan film were used in the current

Water Processable Bioplastic Films from Functionalized Protein Fibrils

Advanced Materials Interfaces, 2022
Abstract A combination of mechanochemistry and aqueous self‐assembly is employed to prepare protein nanofibrils (PNFs) functionalized with perylene diimide (PDI) dyes. These materials are then mixed with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and casted into bioplastic films.

Development of Biodegradable Talc‐Filled PBAT/PLA and PBSA/PBAT Binary Blend Films: Effects of Multilayer Architecture and Uniaxial Orientation on Performance

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
PBAT‐based PLA and PBSA blend films were developed in single‐ and tri‐layer structures with talc and processed via blown film extrusion followed by uniaxial stretching. Multilayer design and MDO significantly enhanced mechanical strength, stiffness, barrier, and UV resistance through chain orientation and strain‐induced crystallization.

Multi‐Modal Imaging of the Loading Heterogeneity in Blended Films of Amorphous and Semi‐Crystalline Polymers During Stretching

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Correlated and spatially resolved small and wide angle X‐ray scattering and vibrational spectroscopy have been used as contrast to image failure regions in polymer blend films. The correlated imaging approach reveals molecular detail of the mechanism of failure and molecular scale insight into an enhanced performance of polylactic acid films blended ...
