“…The survey spectrum shows the main carbon oxygen (~533 eV) bands, along with traces of some minor elements present i such as sodium (~1072 eV) and calcium (~347 eV), potentially originating f and/or colorants in the filaments. In the case of PLA, the variation betwee oxygen concentrations is higher than those reported in the literature [39]. T may be attributed to an excess of C-C bonds, suggesting the presence of pig additives (PLA is of green color) [40].…”

Polymeric blends are employed in the production of filaments for additive manufacturing to balance mechanical and processability properties. The mechanical and thermal properties of polymeric filaments made of poly (lactic acid) (PLA), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), and its blend (PLA–PHA) are investigated herein and correlated to their measured structural and physicochemical properties. PLA exhibits the highest stiffness and tensile strength, but lower toughness. The mechanical properties of the PLA–PHA blend were similar to those of PLA, but with a significantly higher toughness. Despite the lower mechanical properties of neat PHA, incorporating a small amount (12 wt.%) of PHA into PLA significantly enhances toughness (approximately 50%) compared to pure PLA. The synergistic effect is attributed to the spherulitic morphology of blended PHA in PLA, promoting interactions between the amorphous regions of both polymers. Thermal stability is notably improved in the PLA–PHA blend, as determined by thermogravimetric analysis. The blend also exhibits lower cold crystallization and glass transition temperatures as compared to PLA, which is beneficial for additive manufacturing. Following additive manufacturing, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic showed that the three filaments present an increase in C–C and C=O bonds associated with the loss of C–O bonds. The thermal process induces a slight increase in crystallinity in PHA due to chain reorganization. The study provides insights into the thermal and structural changes occurring during the melting process of additive manufacturing.

“…Moreover, our group recently published an invited mini review on mitigation strategies in engineered healthcare materials towards antimicrobial applications and another on non-thermal plasma processing for nanostructured biomaterial [83,84]. Plasma research programs for materials and biomatter for application in agriculture, medical materials [85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93][94], food packing, and other plasma-technologies for automobile and aerospace applications will establish Alabama State as a Southeastern regional hub for plasma science expertise and create thousands of high-paying technical careers in the state and region. While studying the effect of cold plasma treatment on thyme essential oil (TO)/silk fibroin (SF) nanofibers against Salmonella Typhimurium in poultry meat, Lin and co-workers [81] conducted sensory evaluation tests were on chicken and duck meat.…”

Biopolymers have intrinsic drawbacks compared to traditional plastics, such as hydrophilicity, poor thermo-mechanical behaviours, and barrier characteristics. Therefore, biopolymers or their film modifications offer a chance to create packaging materials with specified properties. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) or Low temperature plasma (LTP) has a wide range of applications and has recently been used in the food industry as a potent tool for non-thermal food processing. Though its original purpose was to boost polymer surface energy for better adherence and printability, it has since become an effective technique for surface decontamination of food items and food packaging materials. These revolutionary innovative food processing methods enable the balance between the economic constraints and higher quality while ensuring food stability and minimal processing. For CAP to be considered as a viable alternative food processing technology, it must positively affect food quality. Food products may have their desired functional qualities by adjusting the conditions for cold plasma formation. Cold plasma is a non-thermal method that has little effects on the treated materials and is safe for the environment. In this review, we focus on recent cold plasma advances on various food matrices derived from plants and animals with the aim of highlighting potential applications, ongoing research, and market trends.

“…Subsequently, EDAX was then used to confirm the presence of calcium, most likely in the form of calcium phosphates given the presence of phosphorous present in the XPS data as previously reported by our group. 50 XPS was used to confirm the mineralization occurring on the surface of the gold nanoparticle-modified wafers as seen in the SEM images (Fig. 5).…”
