The problem of environmental plastic contamination is one of the most serious issues facing
our world today. The majority of the packaging materials used to preserve food are made of …

The active packaging films based on corn starch and chitosan were prepared through
mixing the starch solution and the chitosan solution (1: 1) by casting. The aim of this work …

Abstract Fe 3 O 4@ SiO 2-Chitosan/GO (MSCG) nanocomposite was investigated by various
techniques (SEM, TEM, XRD, VSM, FT-IR, XPS) for the removal of tetracycline (TC). Effects …

Environmental concerns have led to extensive research for replacing polymer-based food
packaging with bio-nano-composites. In this study, incorporation of nano-cellulose into …

Montmorillonite− copper oxide (MMT-CuO) nanocomposites were prepared by a facile and
eco-friendly method and introduced into chitosan (Cs) matrix to enhance its optical …

Background Consumption of fruits and vegetables, that are rich in antioxidant vitamins and
