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 …

Abstract Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) is a bio-based, bio-compostable and bio-compatible
aliphatic polyester which derives from lactic acid. The interest for this bioplastic has …

Cassava starch is one of the most available and cost-effective biopolymers. This work aimed
to apply a bibliometric methodology to identify the most impactful scientific data on cassava …

Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) is a sustainable, bio-based, and industrially compostable polymer
with a recalcitrant abiotic degradation phase, limiting its organic recovery to well-managed …

In recent years the plastics market is moving towards biopolymers and the increasing
demand of not oil derived products has led to the development of new composites deriving …

Here, the effects of compatibilization and clay nanoparticles on the gas permeability of
nanocomposites of poly-lactic acid (PLA)/thermoplastic starch (TPS)/nanoclay were …

The insufficient compatibility between poly (lactic acid)(PLA) and thermoplastic polyurethane
(TPU) phase leads to some disadvantages such as extrudate swell and poor mechanical …

This study reports on using reactive extrusion (REX) modified thermoplastic starch particles
as a bio-based and biodegradable nucleating agent to increase the rate of crystallization …

Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) was reactively blended with thermoplastic cassava starch (TPCS) and
functionalized with commercial graphene (GRH) nanoplatelets in a twin-screw extruder, and …

The use of food waste on the production of packaging can be seen as a promising strategy
to cost reduction and new properties. Moreover, packaging, besides food physical …
