“…Currently, different NPs including Ag, nanoclays, ZnO, TiO 2 , SiO 2 , nanotubes of carbon, cellulose nano‐whiskers, and starch nanocrystals are used as nano‐fillers to improve the properties of packaging materials (Dehghani, Peighambardoust, Peighambardoust, Hosseini, & Regenstein, 2019; Manjunath et al., 2018; Nottagh, Hesari, Peighambardoust, Rezaei‐Mokarram, & Jafarizadeh‐Malmiri, 2018, 2019; S. H. Peighambardoust, Beigmohammadi, & Peighambardoust, 2016; Thangavel & Thiruvengadam, 2014; Yao et al., 2011). In previous studies, we investigated various properties of carboxymethyl cellulose cell (CMC)‐based (Ebrahimi, Peighambardoust, Peighambardoust, & Zahed‐Karkaj, 2019) and starch‐based (S. J. Peighambardoust, Peighambardoust, Pournasir, & Mohammadzadeh‐Pakdel, 2019) bio‐nanocomposites containing either individual or combination of silver (Ag), zinc oxide, and copper oxide particles. The results have important implications for designing active antimicrobial films, which could offer biodegradability together with enhanced physical strength for potential use in food applications.…”
