[EN] Reinforced poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL)/almond skin (AS) biocomposites were prepared by extrusion and injection moulding at different AS contents (0, 10, 20, 30 wt%) in order to revalorize this agricultural residue. AS ...
[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] 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] A new class of biodegradable materials developed by a combination of random eco-friendly copolyesterscontaining butylene succinate (BS) and triethylene succinate (TES) sequences with cellulose nanocrys-tals (CNC), is ...
[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, ...
