Frequently Asked Questions (1)
Q1. What are the contributions in this paper?

The increasing demand for new food packaging materials which satisfy people requirements provided thrust for advancement of nano-materials science. Research and development in polymeric materials coupled with appropriate filler, matrixfiller interaction and new formulation strategies to develop composites have potential applications in food packaging. On the other hand, natural fibres are susceptible to microorganisms and their biodegradability is one of the most promising aspects of their incorporation in polymeric materials.
