Researchers at IMDEA Materials Institute and the Institute of Polymer Science and Technology (ICTP-CSIC) have developed an innovative biodegradable multilayer film capable of protecting and ...

A recent article in the Journal of Polymer Science explores the development of chitosan–silanized hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanocomposite films, focusing on their structural, mechanical, and ...

Plastics make up approximately 5–12 % of global waste generation, constituting around 20–30 % of waste by weight. Alarmingly, about 60 % of plastics end up as plastic waste (PW) in the environment. 2 ...

Polysaccharides, such as chitosan, exhibit poor mechanical and barrier characteristics in their current form. Consequently, compared to common plastic films, using materials based on biopolymers in ...
