Bone biomaterials play a vital role in bone repair by providing the necessary substrate for
cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation and by modulating cell activity and function. In …

Native and modified starches have received considerable attention for biodegradable films
formulation due to their completely biodegradable nature, edible characteristics, and low …

The ecological problems emerging due to accumulation of non-biodegradable plastics are
becoming more and more urgent. This problem can be solved by the development of …

Utilizing starch, an abundant polysaccharide, as the renewable filler to blend with poly
(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)(PBAT) is a feasible tactic to construct cost-effective and …

Antimicrobial biodegradable films based on thermoplastic corn starch (TPS) and chitosan
oligomers (CO) were obtained in order to develop a package prototype for perishable food …

The aim of this work was to analyze the effect of native corn starch content (1, 3 and 5% w/v)
on the development of nanocomposite films with 143 ppm silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) …

It is well known that starch-based materials are hydrophilic and water-soluble. Even though,
water solubility raises degradability and increases degradation speed; this moisture …

Plantain flour (Musa ssp., group AAB, sub-group clone Harton)/poly (ε-caprolactone)(PCL)
blends, containing glycerol as a plasticizer, were prepared by reactive extrusion (REx) in a …

Blueberry waste from juice processing was valorised to develop starch films by compression
moulding. The compression process resulted in hydrophobic films with water contact angles …

This research focused on the development of biomaterials based on cassava starch and
corn starch and on the effect of the incorporation of polycaprolactone (PCL) on the thermal …
