Lactic acid (LA) is a platform chemical which can be produced biotechnologically on
agricultural residues, wastes and by-products and further used for production of …

The ascending concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide resulting from fossil fuel
combustions causes global climate change and a significant environmental problems in our …

Present study was aimed to produce biodegradable films with antioxidant activity for active
food packaging. Films of poly (lactic acid)(PLA) with 5 wt% of poly (ε-caprolactone)(PCL) …

Amorphous, medical grade poly (d, l-lactic acid)(PLA) and poly (d, l-lactic-co-glycolic
acid)(PLGA) were used to develop systems for controlled release of a natural bioactive …

The loading of polymeric carriers with active pharmaceutical and nutraceutical ingredients
using supercritical CO 2 (scCO 2) as solvent and diffusion enhancer has received increasing …

Biodegradable polymers with antibacterial properties are highly desirable materials for
active food packaging applications. Thymol, a dietary monoterpene phenol with a strong …

This work describes the procedures to obtain poly (lactic acid)(PLA) films containing natural
nanofibers as well as to impregnate this material with an antimicrobial agent to be used in …

This study deals on the supercritical impregnation of thymol in polylactic acid (PLA) in order
to obtain biodegradable antimicrobial films by means of a procedure, which is in agreement …

Scaffold is a 3D porous structure that is made of different materials, such as synthetic and
natural polymers. It plays the role of a synthetic extracellular matrix and permits adhesion …

For bone tissue engineering applications, scaffolds that mimic the porous structure of the
extracellular matrix are highly desirable. Herein, we employ a PCL/HA-based scaffold with a …
