Journal ArticleDOI
Microfibrillated cellulose and new nanocomposite materials: a review
Istvan Siró,David Plackett +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review summarizes progress in nanocellulose preparation with a particular focus on microfibrillated cellulose and also discusses recent developments in bio-nanocomposite fabrication based on nanocells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradable composites based on l-polylactide and jute fibres
TL;DR: In this paper, a commercial l -polylactide was converted to film and then used in combination with jute fibre mats to generate composites by a film stacking technique, and composite tensile properties were determined and tensile specimen fracture surfaces were examined using environmental scanning electron microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustainable films and coatings from hemicelluloses: a review.
TL;DR: This review summarizes the results of past research on films and coatings from hemicelluloses, biopolymers that are as yet relatively unexploited commercially and fundamental studies of films from modified hemiceLLuloses have identified other potential applications, including selective membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Renewable fibers and bio-based materials for packaging applications - A review of recent developments
Caisa Johansson,Julien Bras,Iñaki Mondragon,Petronela Nechita,David Plackett,Peter Simon,Diana Gregor Svetec,Sanna Virtanen,Marco Giacinti Baschetti,Christopher Breen,Susana Aucejo +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the state-of-the-art of material derived from the forest sector with respect to its potential for use in the packaging industry is described and some innovative approaches are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transparent Films Based on PLA and Montmorillonite with Tunable Oxygen Barrier Properties
Anna J. Svagan,Anna Åkesson,Marité Cárdenas,Sanja Bulut,Jes C. Knudsen,Jens Risbo,David Plackett +6 more
TL;DR: Transmission electron microscopy revealed a well-ordered laminar structure in the deposited multilayer coatings, and light transmittance results demonstrated the high optical clarity of the coated PLA films.
