Fully biobased and biodegradable materials have attracted a growing interest in the food packaging sector as they can help to reduce negative impact of fossil-based plastics on environment. Moreover, addition functionalities these by introducing active molecules has become an essential requirement create modern able extend food's shelf-life while informing consumer about quality freshness. In this study, we present innovative bioplastic formulation for based poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate)...
Polymeric thin films based on polylactide with an addition of poly(ethylene glycol) as a plasticizer and flavonoids in the form quercetin berberine were subjected to tests that particularly relevant from point view contact food. A comparative analysis effect individual antioxidative properties tested blueberry storage was carried out. The influence active compounds water vapor permeability, well UV protection, obtained materials investigated. Also, specific migration food simulants acetic...
A significant mechanical properties mismatch between natural bone and the material forming orthopedic implant device can lead to its failure due inhomogeneous loads distribution, resulting in less dense more fragile tissue (known as stress shielding effect). The addition of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) biocompatible bioresorbable poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) is proposed order tailor PHB different types. Specifically, approach offers an effective strategy develop a supporting material,...
