Nanocomposites for Food Packaging Applications: An Overview

Jawad Sarfraz et al.

Summary: Nanocomposite materials offer improved physical properties, antimicrobial, and antioxidant capabilities for food packaging applications. Enhancements in polymer performance can be achieved by incorporating low concentrations of nanofillers. Considerations should also be given to migration issues, consumer acceptance, recyclability, and toxicity aspects.

Optimisation on Thermoforming of Biodegradable Poly (Lactic Acid) (PLA) by Numerical Modelling

Huidong Wei

Summary: The mechanical behavior of PLA in biaxial deformation is strongly dependent on temperature and strain rate, demonstrated by a nonlinear viscoelastic model used in a thermoforming process for food packaging. An optimization approach was developed by defining multiple heating zones based on numerical modeling with FEA to achieve the optimal temperature profile of specimens. The sensitivity of the optimal results was addressed by checking the robustness under perturbation.

Near-complete depolymerization of polyesters with nano-dispersed enzymes

Christopher Delre et al.

Summary: By dispersing enzymes with deep active sites, semi-crystalline polyesters can be efficiently degraded in a short period of time, with up to 98% conversion of polyester to small molecules. This method allows for complete elimination of the need to separate and landfill products in compost facilities, with degradation achieved in standard soil composts and household tap water.

Compatibility and hydrolytic behaviors of polylactide isomer/poly(butylene succinate) mixtures by the Langmuir technique

Donghyeok Im et al.

Summary: The study investigated the compatibility and hydrolytic behaviors of biodegradable stereochemical polylactide (l-PLA or dl-PLA) and poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) monolayer mixtures at the air/water interface. Results showed that dl-PLA/PBS monolayer mixtures exhibited better compatibility than l-PLA/PBS monolayer mixtures, and the hydrolytic rate of compatible monolayer mixtures was slower than their arithmetic averages.

Perspectives on sustainable food packaging:- is bio-based plastics a solution?

Ana C. Mendes et al.

Summary: This manuscript presents the key parameters and methods for sustainable food packaging, highlighting the positive impact of using bio-based plastic packaging materials. However, other environmental impacts need to be considered, and the recycling of packaging material is essential to reduce its environmental and climate impacts.

Nanocomposites Materials of PLA Reinforced with Nanoclays Using a Masterbatch Technology: A Study of the Mechanical Performance and Its Sustainability

Helena Oliver-Ortega et al.

Summary: Packaging accounts for about 40% of total plastic production, and there is a shift towards biopolymers in food packaging due to environmental concerns. Improving barrier properties of Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) for competition with other polymers is being researched, with a focus on dispersion. Pre-dispersion and concentrated compounds show promise in enhancing mechanical performance and sustainability of materials in food trays.
