Molecular imprinting technology (MIT) aims to prepare polymers with tailor-made binding
sites for the templates in shape, size and functional groups. However, many disadvantages …

The challenges posed by the non-biodegradable petroleum-based plastics in food
packaging have sparked interest in biodegradable films. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is one of …

The usability and effectiveness of plastic polymers are increasingly changing with advances
in technology and research. Poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVOH) based materials have been widely …

Background Starch-based films are degradable, renewable, cost effective, and can be used
as a foodstuff packaging material. Functional starch-based films have attracted extensive …

Polysaccharide-based films are favored in the food packaging industry because of their
advantages of green and safe characters, as well as natural degradability, but due to the …

Background: Bionanotechnology, as a tool for incorporation of biological molecules into
nanoartifacts, is gaining more and more importance in the field of food packaging. It offers an …

Polylactic acid (PLA) and thermoplastic starch (TPS) are biodegradable polymers of
biological origin, and the mixture of these polymers has been studied due to the desirable …

In recent years, active and intelligent food packaging films have been developing in
response to the retailer and consumer demands for producing food products with controlled …

The use of biodegradable packaging material as an alternative to conventional
petrochemical-based polymers is based on the environmental issues associated with …

This work explored biodegradable polyvinyl alcohol/starch (PVA/ST) film compatibilized by
rod-like ZnO nanofillers as multifunctional food packaging materials. The influence of rod …
