- Graphene oxide improves barrier properties of biodegradable composites Chilean researchers explore novel approach to eco-friendly food packaging Polylactic acid (PLA) is a polymer made from renewable biomass; typically, fermented plant starches, such as corn, sugarcane, cassava, or sugar beet. In use, it exhibits similar mechanical and physical properties to some petroleum-derived polymers, but it is biodegradable ā under...
- Membranes, Vol. 13, Pages 582: Novel Electrospun Composite Membranes Based on Po... The use of biodegradable polyesters derived from green sources and their combination with natural abundantly layered aluminosilicate clay, e.g., natural montmorillonite, meets the requirements for the development of new sustainable, disposable, and biodegradable organic dye sorbent materials. In this regard, novel electrospun composite fibers, based on poly Ī²-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) and...
