Summary

Researchers developed biodegradable films incorporating molybdenum trioxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles into a poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) matrix via casting, characterizing the material using FTIR, TD-NMR, XRD, and TGA analyses. They found the composite films exhibited exceptional mechanical and chemical properties, bacteriostatic features, and no microplastic formation after disposal, supporting their potential as eco-friendly food packaging.

The cover image by Lizandra Viana Maurat da Rocha highlights one of our innovative biodegradable films, which incorporated molybdenum trioxide and zinc oxide into the poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) matrix through casting. The photo emphasizes its partial transparency and homogeneity. Some analytical results reported as FTIR, TD‐NMR, XRD and TGA validates nanomaterial's exceptional mechanical and chemical properties. Icons below underscore its potential as an eco‐friendly food packaging,with bacteriostatic features and no formation of microplastics after disposal. DOI: 10.1002/app.55294 image
