TL;DR: Antimicrobial packaging as mentioned in this paper is a novel development that incorporates antimicrobial agent into polymer film to suppress the activities of targeted microorganisms, however, antimicrobial packaging is still an extremely challenging technology and there are only a few commercialized products found in the market.

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed overview of current knowledge on the surface modification of nanocellulose has been provided also to encourage the emergence of preparation of cellulose derivative nanocrystals with controlled morphology, structure and properties, so that enable positive development of biocompatible, renewable and sustainable reinforcing materials for polymer composites field.

TL;DR: In this article, the application of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) in different types of commodity thermoplastic composites (polyethylene, polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)) have been discussed in terms of mechanical properties, morphologies and thermal properties.

TL;DR: In this paper, a type of covalent organic functionalization approach is reviewed, namely silylation to coat silane coupling agents on the clay, considered to be a salient aspect to improve nanofiller dispersion in the polymeric matrix, besides the processing method and nature of the polymer.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied a hybrid MCDM methodology to resolve multiple incompatible and conflicting green building material (GBM) criteria to align with three pillars (3Ps) of sustainability.
