“…Recently, hydrophobic bioelastomers were produced by incorporating granular cornstarch in acetoxy-polyorganosiloxane (Ceseracciu et al, 2015). Also, the incorporation of inorganic nanoparticles, such as organoclays (Magalhães and Andrade, 2009), silica (Milionis et al, 2014) and carbon nanotubes (Taghizadeh and Favis, 2013;Swain et al, 2013), to the starch matrix led to materials with improved resistance to humidity.…”

“…They are created by dispersing inert nanoscale fillers throughout the polymeric matrix. Many different nanomaterials are used as fillers like silica nanoparticles (Ke et al 2010;Bracho et al 2012), clay nanoplatelets (Ku et al 2004;Schuetz et al 2011), organoclay (Ham et al 2013;Gokkurt et al 2013), graphene (Lee et al 2013;Yousefi et al 2013), polysaccharide nanocrystals , carbon nanotubes (Swain et al 2013;Prashantha et al 2009), cellulose-based nanomaterials (Floros et al 2012;Sandquist 2013), chitosan nanoparticles (Chang et al 2010), and other metal nanoparticles like ZnO 2 (Esthappan et al 2013), colloidal Cu (Cárdenas et al 2009), or Ti .…”

Nanotechnology is defined as the study and use of structures between 1 and 100 nm in length (at least in one dimension). Due to the different properties of nanosized materials compared to the bulk material, research in nanotechnology has increased exponentially in recent years. The food sector is no exception, and nanotechnology is present in different stages of the food chain, from agriculture to food processing, supplements, or food packaging. Among them, the most active area of food nanoscience research and development is food packaging.Nanomaterials are used in packaging to improve the packaging barrier properties, to create active or intelligent packaging materials, or to enhance the properties of edible and biodegradable packaging materials. In addition to the packages itself, nanotechnology can also be used in labeling applications, like a nano-barcode. In the present chapter, all these applications and the commercialized products already in the market will be discussed.The current legislation related to nano-developments in food packaging is at different stages in different countries, and there are concerns about the safety of the use of such nanosized materials for food packaging applications. The different studies concerning the possible migration of the nanomaterials used in the packaging to the food will be reviewed.

“…Moreover, the intensity of the peaks related to the #-#* transition of the quinoid rings was reduced in the AF-MWCNT/EPU solution. This is because the quinoid units were stabilized by the strong #-# interaction between MWCNTs and EPU and the charge transfer from the polymer chain to MWCNTs [42,43]. …”

Abstract. The electrocatalytic oxidation of vitamin C at carbon paste electrode (CPE) modified with amino-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotube/electroactive polyurea (AF-MWCNT/EPU) composite was investigated. We have synthesized novel electroactive polyurea composites containing MWCNTs functionalized with 4-aminobenzoyl groups by an oxidative coupling polymerization. Ultraviolet-Visible spectra and cyclic voltammetry studies confirmed the occurrence of efficient interaction between AF-MWCNT and EPU graft. Moreover, the electrocatalytic activity of vitamin C oxidation by utilizing aniline containing composites was evaluated, showing that the intrinsic electroactivity of AF-MWCNT/EPU-CPE had great potential application for detection of vitamin C. The detection limit and sensitivity of this sensor was 1.2 µM and 35.3 !A·mM -1 , respectively.
