Charged-cellulose nanofibrils as a nutrient carrier in biodegradable polymers for enhanced efficiency fertilizers.
Débora França,Gilberto Siqueira,Gustav Nyström,Frank Clemens,Claudinei Fonseca Souza,Roselena Faez +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) were functionalized with negative and positive charges to improve the CNF-nutrient and interaction with polymeric matrices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of potassium sorbate as an interface agent in biodegradable bi-layers polymers
TL;DR: In this paper, a bilayer material was developed using TPS monolayers assembled with polylactic acid (PLAa) and polycaprolactone (PCL), which was evaluated as an interfacial adhesion material.

Thermo-Mechanical Behavior and Hydrolytic Degradation of Linear Low Density Polyethylene/Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) Blends
TL;DR: In this paper, a commercial linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) utilized for packaging applications was melt compounded with different amounts (from 10 wt% up to 50 wt%) of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (P(3HB)), with the aim to evaluate the possibility to partially replace LLDPE with a biodegradable matrix obtained from renewable resources.
