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
Polyethylene and biodegradable mulches for agricultural applications: a review
TL;DR: The use of plastic mulch in agriculture has increased dramatically in the last 10 years throughout the world as mentioned in this paper, due to benefits such as increase in soil temperature, reduced weed pressure, moisture conservation, reduction of certain insect pests, higher crop yields, and more efficient use of soil nutrients.

Preparation and characterization of chitosan-based nanocomposite films with antimicrobial activity.
TL;DR: Mechanical and barrier properties of chitosan films were affected through intercalation of nanoparticles, that is, tensile strength increased by 7-16%, whereas water vapor permeability decreased by 25-30% depending on the nanoparticle material tested.

Chitosan Coating Effect on Storability and Quality of Fresh Strawberries
TL;DR: The effect of chitosan coating (1.0 and 1.5% w/v) in controlling decay of strawberries at 13°C was investigated as compared to a fungicide, iprodione (Rovral®) as discussed by the authors.

Measurement errors in water vapor permeability of highly permeable, hydrophilic edible films
TL;DR: In this paper, the air gap resistance of high-water vapor-transmitting hydrophilic edible films is corrected to account for the air layer resistance, which can lead to underestimation of water vapor transmission rates.
