Abstract:The major challenge in hemicellulose blend films for food packaging is to overcome the inferior wet strength and hydrophilic properties of hemicellulose‐based films. Inspired by the principle of wet strength of paper, novel bio‐based packaging film with high barrier and strength properties was designed via bagasse pith hemicellulose as main substrate materials and polyamideamine‐epichlorohydrin (PAE) as strengthening agent. The chemical characterization showed that the mechanical and barrier properties of the … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
