Journal ArticleDOI
Nanocomposite Edible Films from Mango Puree Reinforced with Cellulose Nanofibers
Henriette M.C. Azeredo,Luiz H. C. Mattoso,Delilah F. Wood,Tina G. Williams,Roberto J. Avena-Bustillos,Tara H. McHugh +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the properties of mango puree edible films can be significantly improved through CNF reinforcement, suggesting the formation of a fibrillar network within the matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanocellulose Reinforced Chitosan Composite Films as Affected by Nanofiller Loading and Plasticizer Content
Henriette M.C. Azeredo,Luiz H. C. Mattoso,Roberto J. Avena-Bustillos,Gino Ceotto Filho,M. L. Munford,Delilah F. Wood,Tara H. McHugh +6 more
TL;DR: A nanocomposite film with 15% CNF and plasticized with 18% glycerol was comparable to some synthetic polymers in terms of strength and stiffness, but with poorer elongation andWater vapor barrier, indicating that they can be used for applications that do not require high flexibility and/or water vapor barrier.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant-based materials and transitioning to a circular economy
TL;DR: The growing use of plant-based materials will have environmental benefits including waste reduction, lower greenhouse gas emissions, promote rural investment, reduce the volume of harmful chemicals/pollutants, conserve ecosystems and biodiversity, and will help transition to the circular economy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rubber particles from four different species, examined by transmission electron microscopy and electron-paramagnetic-resonance spin labeling, are found to consist of a homogeneous rubber core enclosed by a contiguous, monolayer biomembrane
TL;DR: Rubber particles appear similar to oil bodies in their basic architecture as the monolayer biomembrane serves as an interface between the hydrophobic rubber interior and the aqueous cytosol and prevents aggregation of the particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of relative humidity on the morphology of electrospun polymer fibers
TL;DR: The effect of relative humidity on the morphology of electrospun fibers of poly(vinyl alcohol), poly(methyl methacrylate), polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, and poly(lactic acid) dissolved in solv... as discussed by the authors.
