Current trends in food packaging systems are toward biodegradable polymer materials,
especially the food biopolymer films made from polysaccharides and proteins, but they are …

Chitin, a widely available natural polymer, is the fundamental structural component of
crustacean shells. The crustacean processing industry produces a lot of shell waste each …

The synergistic plasticization/compatibilization effect of poly (ethylene glycol)/glycerol is
reported for poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA)/chitosan blends. The optimum concentration of PEG …

Starch-based films have limited applications due to their hydrophilicity and poor mechanical
performance. Herein, thermoplastic starch (TPS) nanocomposite films with chitin nanofibers …

The bacteriostatic performance of a chitosan film is closely related to its ionic and physical
properties, which are significantly influenced by the mode of cross-linking. In the current …

In this work, chitosan-succinic acid membranes were prepared by casting method and the
physicochemical and mechanical properties of non-neutralized and neutralized with NaOH …

In this work, an alternative approach towards the use of a ternary natural deep eutectic
solvent (ChCl/glycerol/lactic acid: NADES-3) as an environmentally friendly medium for the …

In this paper we present a novel strategy to easily prepare biodegradable chitosan derived
films as new packaging systems. Combination of chitosan, adipic acid and 4-(4, 6-dimethoxy …

We have reported the synthesis of newly blended membranes, SPVA/SCS, using the
solution-casting and solvent evaporation technique. The selection of appropriate polymers is …

Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC)-reinforced bio-composite films containing glycerol were
produced using the solution casting technique. The influences of the addition of CNC (2, 4 …
