Non-Isothermal Crystallization Kinetics of Injection Grade PHBV and PHBV/Carbon Nanotubes Nanocomposites Using Isoconversional Method [PDF]

Journal of Composites Science, 2020
Carbon nanotubes (CNT)-reinforced polymeric composites are being studied as promising materials due to their enhanced properties. However, understanding the behavior of polymers during non-isothermal crystallization is important once the degree of crystallinity and crystallization processes are affected when nanoparticles are added to matrices. Usually,

Citric Acid‐Crosslinked Chitosan Coatings Incorporating Curcumin for Enhancement of Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Properties

Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, EarlyView.
A fully bio‐based coating was developed using Chitosan, Citric acid, and Curcumin. Citric acid acts simultaneously as a green solvent and non‐toxic crosslinker. Dry Heat Treatment enhances water resistance and thermal stability, creating an active packaging system with dual antioxidant and antimicrobial properties to extend food shelf‐life.

Designing PLA/PHBV Implants With Degradation Matched to Normal or Inflammatory Tissues

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 36, September 20, 2026.
PLA/PHBV blends are investigated under simulated normal and pathological conditions. Multivariate statistical analysis decouples the competing effects of water‐uptake‐driven hydrolysis and crystallinity‐imposed barriers. Melt‐state rheological parameters serve as structural probes linking phase morphology to degradation kinetics. A semi‐empirical model
