Summary

Researchers developed and evaluated bio-based micro-composite packaging films reinforced with micro-clay particles, optimizing formulations to achieve mechanical and barrier properties competitive with conventional plastics while retaining the environmental benefits of biodegradable matrices.

Because of its environmental friendliness and easy decomposition, biodegradable plastics have gained immense popularity as a packaging material. However, traditional petroleum-based plastics have been found to have negative impacts on the environment, leading to a...
