[EN] Bilayer films consisting of one layer of PCL with either one of thermoplastic starch (S) or one of thermo-plastic starch with 5% PCL (S95) were obtained by compression molding. Before compression, aqueoussolutions of ...
[EN] Aloe vera gel, analysed as to its antifungal properties against six fungi causing plant diseases, was found to be most effective against Fusarium oxysporum. It was included in different ratios in starch based films ...
[EN] Hydrothermal (60 min, 180 degrees C) extracts and cellulose fibres from coffee and rice husks were obtained to be incorporated into corn starch films, in order to improve the film functional properties as food packaging ...
[EN] Cellulosic material from coffee husk has not been previously studied despite being a potential source of reinforcing agents for different applications. This material has been extracted and characterised from coffee ...
[EN] Corn starch glycerol (1:0.3) films, containing or not citric acid (1 g/100 g starch) and HPMC (10 and 20 g/100 g starch), are obtained by compression molding. The microstructure of the films, the thermal behavior, the ...
[EN] Cellulosic fibres from coffee (CF) and rice (RF) husks have been obtained applying chemical
treatments and characterized as to their microstructure and thermal behaviour. These materials
have been incorporated into ...
[EN] Thermoplastic starch (S) and polylactic acid (PLA) blend films were obtained by melt blending and compression moulding using grafted polycaprolactone with maleic anhydride and/or glycidyl methacrylate (PCLMG or PCLG) ...
