Synthesis and characterization of poly(lactic acid)/clove essential oil/alkali-treated halloysite nanotubes composite films for food packaging applications

A review: studying the effect of graphene nanoparticles on mechanical, physical and thermal properties of polylactic acid polymer

“…However, polylactic acid has disadvantages, including hydrophobicity, brittleness at room temperature, low thermal resistance, slow degradation rate, permeability to gases, lack of active groups, and chemical neutrality. 4–10…”

“…Applications of PLA include medical use for sutures and surgical implants. 10–15 Joints of surgical implants, such as pins and tubes, are also made of PLA, which breaks down in the human body within six months to two years. 15–18 It is also used in food packaging 18–20 and in the manufacture of disposable appliances, 21–24 home appliances and sanitary ware.…”

Thermal and Morphological Analysis of Linear Low-Density Polyethylene Composites Containing d-limonene/β-cyclodextrin for Active Food Packaging

“…The introduction of natural ingredients acting towards specific pathogens, with an emphasis on their positive impact on health, has been widely discussed in the literature [ 3 , 11 , 12 ]. Essential oils (EOs) are naturally antimicrobial and antifungal additives currently used as food preservatives and active ingredients in food packaging [ 11 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. These volatile substances may be extracted from several citruses (such as orange, lemon, mandarin, lime, grapefruit, etc.)…”
