Thermoplastic starch composites have attracted significant attention due to the rise of
environmental pollutions induced by the use of synthetic petroleum-based polymer …

Starch is the most popular plant polysaccharides, which has been widely used for the
development of edible coating films because of its abundance, cost-effectiveness, and …

The use of polysaccharide-based materials presents an eco-friendly technological solution,
by reducing dependence on fossil resources while reducing a product's carbon footprint …

Edible packaging is a sustainable product and technology that uses one kind of “food”(an
edible material) to package another kind of food (a packaged product), and organically …

Plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has been widely used in the world. Petroleum-based
plasticizers especially phthalates have been the most common plasticizers used in PVC …

In this paper, nanofibrillated celluloses (NFCs) with network-like structure were extracted
from microcrystalline cellulose for the first time through swelling and mechanical shearing …

Thermoplastic starch (TPS) offers an alternative to petrochemical‐based plastics because as
well as being a final product in itself, TPS can be used as a precursor for the production of …

Amidst the global plastic pollution crisis, bio-based polymers have been proposed as a
potential substitute to tackle this issue. Owed to their biodegradability, biopolymers are …

The toughening efficiency of three differently plasticized thermoplastic starches (TPS) in the
polylactic acid (PLA)/TPS blend was studied. A similar study was also carried out on …

The development of green and ecologically balanced food packaging materials is a major
