Walnut shell (WS) has been demonstrated to be a promising and sustainable reinforcement
in polymer composites. However, the evaluation of the overall properties provided by this …

Synthetic plastics are severely detrimental to the environment because non-biodegradable
plastics do not degrade for hundreds of years. Nowadays, these plastics are very commonly …

Bio-based composite films have been widely studied as potential substitutes for
conventional plastics in food packaging. The aim of this study was to develop multifunctional …

Biobased polymers are considered as a promising alternative to conventional synthetic
plastics from fossil fuels to recompense the draining resources for petroleum‐based …

The suitability of three local lignocellulosic wastes ie almond shell (AS), rice husk (RH) and
seagrass (SG) as fillers in PHB/Fiber composites applications has been studied. PHB/Fiber …

Biodegradable films based on starch modified with ascorbic acid or caffeine and dialdehyde
starch (DS) were evaluated towards their applications in the food packaging industry. The …

Plasticized starch (PS) materials hold a fundamental role in the design of novel
biodegradable and compostable plastics aimed to reduce global single‐use plastic wastes …

In previous works, we had shown that blending plasticised wheat starch (PWS) with
biodegradable polyesters improves properties such as the water resistance. The present …

Single-use plastic packaging has become an inevitable part of every aspect of human life. In
fact, the increase in the consumption of petroleum-based single-use plastics has resulted in …

The poor management of citrus wastes as a result of their low compostability and value for
animal feeding greatly hinders the disposal of this waste. Nowadays, the incorporation of …
