Background Bentonite clay, a versatile and naturally occurring clay mineral, has garnered
significant attention in the packaging field due to its unique combination of structural …

Starch blend films of native cassava starch and medium distarch phosphate cassava starch
(crosslinked cassava starch) were prepared by solution casting. The effects of kaolin content …

Starch-casein composite (solid matter content) based bioactive films incorporated with
micellar pomegranate peel extract (MPPE) at different concentrations (10, 25, 50, and 100 …

In this study, xylan–alginate-based films were reinforced with nanoclays (bentonite or
halloysite) by the solvent casting technique. The effect of the nanoclay loadings (1–5 wt%) …

In the current study, film based on semi-refined ι-carrageenan/cassava starch (SRiC/CS)
incorporated with SiO2-ZnO nanoparticles was fabricated and characterized to deal with …

This study presents the development and characterization of a nanocomposite material,
consisting of thermoplastic starch (TPS) reinforced with bentonite clay (BC) and …

A new surface modification in calcium bentonite clay (Bent-Ca) was investigated in this work,
from the sequential intercalation of three types of surfactants: cetyltrimethylammonium …

There is a growing interest in bioplastic-based degradable and sustainable packaging film
and in this regard, poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)(PBAT) can be a good choice …

The biobased, biodegradable, and compostable advanced materials are one of the
