Although most cellular polymers are made from thermoplastics using different foaming technologies, gelatin and many other natural can form hydrogels convert them to solids various techniques, of which differ traditional plastic foaming, so does their resulting structures. Cellular porous materials that often exhibit a combination desirable properties, including high specific surface area, biochemical activity, as well thermal acoustic insulation properties. Among hydrogels, gelatin-based...

Incorporating biopolymers in packaging foams can contribute to a more circular system, utilizing renewable and compostable materials. Gelatin, with its favorable physicochemical properties, allows for producing gelatin via mechanical foaming, well-established low-investment process. To improve foam starch be added the formulation. However, variability properties of powders impact polymer blend and, consequently, dry foam. This study aimed investigate different from botanical origins (tapioca...

Chicken fillets, predominantly encased in disposable plastic packaging, represent a common perishable commodity frequently found the shopping baskets of British consumers, with an annual slaughter exceeding 1.1 billion chickens. The associated environmental implications are considerable significance. However, noticeable gap exists concerning household-level ramifications chicken meat consumption, which remains prominent driver (165 kg CO

Gelatin hydrogels are widely used materials that may require surfactants to adjust their solution's surface tension for cell attachment, adsorption enhancement, or foaming. However, gelatin is a highly surface-active polymer, and its concentrated solutions usually do not achieve low tension. anionic surfactants, such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), interact strongly with form complexes impact hydrogels' rheological properties, influencing processability functionality. Nevertheless, there...
