The strategies that have been developed to improve the utility of poly (lactic acid)(PLA) in
packaging materials were examined. This study has focused on two potential solutions: the …

A strategy to overcome the brittleness and rigidity of polylactic acid (PLA)‐based materials
for food packaging applications is adding a proper plasticizer in the right amount. Here …

The development of food nano-packaging made mainly from composite materials
(biopolymers, nanoclays, and bionanocomposites) has brought great interest globally, as …

Currently, the production and application of non-biodegradable petroleum-based synthetic
polymer (commonly known as plastic) are highly prevalent. As synthetic polymers as mostly …

Bio-nanocomposite interpenetrating polymer networks (IPN) have gained great attention in
the last decades, mainly due to their biomedical applications. This chapter is an overview of …

This paper presents the production of films that can replace the conventional plastics used
for food packaging. Seven films were made from biodegradable materials, such as agar …
