The deacetylated derivative of chitin ie chitosan is an advantageous and interesting
bioactive polymer. Despite its biodegradability, it consists of many reactive primary and …

In this work epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) based compounds were developed using salicylic
acid (SAL) and 1, 3, and 5 wt% of chitosan (CHT). The chemical structures and the curing …

Chitosan is a polyfunctional biomaterial that is subjected to chemical modification through
functionalization to give the derivatives of remarkable anticancer activity. In this study …

Biobased plastics provide a sustainable alternative to conventional food packaging
materials, thereby reducing the environmental impact. The present study investigated the …

Nanocomposites of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with poly (butylene adipate-
co-terephthalate)(PBAT), a flexible aromatic–aliphatic copolyester, were prepared by melt …

Structural, thermal and mechanical properties of the compostable composites comprising a
biodegradable aliphatic–aromatic copolyester (namely, the poly (butylene adipate-co …

Starch was extracted from potato (Solanum tuberosum) cultivated in Nepal. The yield of
starch of different sorts of the species S. tuberosum was compared with each other …

An agricultural waste, the wheat stalk, was used for the extraction of microcrystalline
