Characterization of Hydrophobically Modified Titanium Dioxide Polylactic Acid Nanocomposite Films for Food Packaging Applications

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) polymer nanocomposites improve barrier properties to gas and moisture and mechanical strength as well as providing active packaging functions. However, low compatibility between hydrophilic TiO2 nanoparticles and hydrophobic polymers such as polylactic acid (PLA) causes prob...
