[EN] Electrospun biobased and biodegradable nanocomposites for sustainable flexible films were developed. Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was blended with 25 wt% of poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) to produce bead-less fibers and ...
[EN] Incorporation of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) to pea starch-poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) (1:2 ratio) blend films was carried out in order to improve their physical properties. Different ratios (1, 3 and 5 % wt) of CNC ...
[EN] Films based on polylactic acid (PLA) and different amounts of chitosan powder (CH), were prepared by extrusion. The effects of CH particle size (715 and 180 mu m) and the amount of chitosan incorporated in the PLA ...
[EN] Aligned mats of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) nanofibers containing nanosized hydroxyapatite filler have been obtained via electrospinning onto a rotating mandrel. Their structure and morphology have been characterized as ...
[EN] Chitosan (CH) was blended with poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) in different compositions to obtain biodegradable films (PVA90:CH10, PVA80:CH20, PVA70:CH30). Blends and neat polymer films (PVA100,CH100) were characterized for ...
[EN] Poly(lactic acid) (PIA) and poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) were blended and bionanocomposite films were prepared by solvent casting method adding 1 or 3 wt% of cellulose nanocrystals extracted from Carmagnola carded ...

[EN] Pea starch (S) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) blends with different ratios were produced in order to elucidate the possible advantages of blend films to overcome the common drawbacks of starch films. Starch, poly(vinyl ...
[EN] Novel gluten based bionanocomposites reinforced with cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) and cellulose
nanocrystals (CNC) extracted from sunflower stalks by respectively a steam explosion treatment and
a hydrolysis procedure, ...
