Journal ArticleDOI
Natural-based plasticizers and biopolymer films: A review
TL;DR: The use of natural and/or biodegradable plasticizers, with low toxicity and good compatibility with several plastics, resins, rubber and elastomers in substitution of conventional plasticizers attracted the market along with the increasing worldwide trend towards use of biopolymers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alginate and pectin composite films crosslinked with Ca2+ ions: Effect of the plasticizer concentration
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the influence of the plasticizer (glycerol) concentration (1-15% w/v) in this finishing reticulation step on final films characteristics, which indicated that the extent of simultaneous Ca2+ crosslinking and plasticization with glycerol was determined by the level of structural organization obtained in the pre-reticulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyvinylchloride (PVC) and natural rubber films plasticized with a natural polymeric plasticizer obtained through polyesterification of rice fatty acid
TL;DR: In this article, a natural plasticizer was synthesized in the laboratory by esterification of rice fatty acids and polyols, which was added to PVC and natural rubber latex films (5% w/w).
Journal ArticleDOI
Natamycin release from alginate/pectin films for food packaging applications
TL;DR: In this paper, single and composite films based on alginate and pectin containing natamycin as active agent were prepared and the release behavior in water and the diffusion coefficients were evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
