Filling of Mater-Bi with Nanoclays to Enhance the Biofilm Rigidity

Filling of Mater-Bi with Nanoclays to Enhance the Biofilm Rigidity

We investigated the efficacy of several nanoclays (halloysite, sepiolite and laponite) as nanofillers for Mater-Bi, which is a commercial bioplastic extensively used within food packaging applications. The preparation of Mater-Bi/nanoclay nanocomposite films was easily achieved by means of the solve...
