The Effect of Moisture on Cellulose Nanocrystals Intended as a High Gas Barrier Coating on Flexible Packaging Materials
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) exhibit outstanding gas barrier properties, which supports their use as a biobased and biodegradable barrier coating on flexible food packaging materials. As highly hydrophilic biopolymers, however, CNCs have a strong sensitivity to water that can be detrimental to appl...
