Polyesterase activity and thermostability of carboxylesterases from Thermoleophilum album YS‐3

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Three novel α/β‐hydrolases from thermophilic bacterium Thermoleophilum album display carboxylesterase and polyesterase activity. These enzymes hydrolyse PET, PLA and PCL both at high and moderate temperatures. TA21 shows superior activity, efficiently converting MHET to terephthalic acid. Structural features underlying substrate binding highlight their

Packaging related properties of commercially available biopolymers – An overview of the status quo

eXPRESS Polymer Letters, 2018
Several commercially available thermoplastic biopolymers were processed in a continuous extrusion line. The molecular weight, crystallinity, and mechanical and permeation properties of the cast films were determined in order to evaluate the status quo of

Effect of Plasticizer and Compatibilizer on Properties of Polybutylene adipate-co-terephthalate (PBAT) with Acetylated Starch

Journal of Polymers and the Environment, 2023
Abstract Immiscible and incompatibility between the hydrophilic fiber phase and hydrophobic matrix phase results in a poor stress transfer between the two phases and deterioration in mechanical, physical, and barrier properties. Therefore, this study aims to enhance the compatibility of hydrophobic polybutylene adipate-co-terephthalate (PBAT ...

Multilayer Cellulose Acetate–Viscose Films for Bio‐Based, Bio‐Degradable Packaging Applications

Packaging Technology and Science, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 685-695, June 2026.
Cellulose acetate (CA) and cellulose foils stick together comprehensively after mild cellulose sodium hydroxide treatment and heated compression. For combined foils, water barrier properties correlate with CA thickness. Oxygen permeation suffers due to the sodium hydroxide pre‐treatment induced foil changes. The composite represents a biodegradable and
