TL;DR: A broad review on the recent advances in the research and development of biobased plastics and bionanocomposites that are used in various applications such as packaging, durable goods, electronics and biomedical uses is presented in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of talc loading on phase morphology of PLA/PCL/talc composites and improvement in resulting properties are reported, and various theoretical models based on dispersion and filler geometry are used to predict the tensile modulus and oxygen permeability.

TL;DR: Molecular weight distribution data for biodegraded oxo-biodegradable polyethylene have shown that P. aeruginosa is able to utilize the low-molecularWeight fractions produced during oxidation, however, it is not able to perturb the whole of the polymer volume as indicated by the narrowing of thepolyethylene molecular weight distribution curve toward higher molecular fractions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the development of green composites from distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), a major co-product of the corn ethanol industry, and poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate), PBAT was summarized.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the processability and biodegradability of composite bioplastic materials and found that the presence of meal-based fillers increased the rate of biodegradation of the matrix polymer, degrading at a faster pace than both the pure PBS polymer and the switchgrass composite.
