This paper reviews the recent development of starch-based materials, including both
fundamental and application researches. In order to overcome the weakness of pure starch …

The last decade has seen the development of green materials, which intends to reduce the
human impact on the environment. Green polymers are obviously tendency subset of this …

More than 1000 published experimental data of gas (O 2 and CO 2) and vapor (H 2 O)
permeability in nanocomposites containing either spherical, elongated or platelet particles …

In food packaging, smart indicator films based on natural resources have greatly attracted
researchers to minimize the environmental issues as well as to satisfy consumer …

Biodegradable films emerge as alternative biomaterials to conventional packaging from
fossil sources, which, in addition to offering protection and increasing the shelf life of food …

In this study, glycerol content and its incorporation method on tensile and barrier properties
of biodegradable films (BF) based on cassava starch were analyzed. ANOVA showed that …

Different plasticized alginates have been prepared by thermo-mechanical mixing for the first
time. In this study, sodium alginate of high molar mass has been processed with glycerol as …

Edible films based on starch and chitosan were obtained by varying the starch source
(potato and cassava starch), starch concentration (0.5 and 1.0%), type of plasticizer (glucose …

Most materials currently used for food packaging are nondegradable, generating
environmental problems. Several biopolymers have been exploited to develop materials for …

In this study, hydric and biodegradability properties of cassava starch-based bioplastics
reinforced with crude kaolin or treated kaolinitic clay at 700° C called metakaolin were …
