Industrial waste is upcycled into biodegradable plastic
The product outperforms film made of HPMC alone. An article on the research project, which was supported by FAPESP, is published in the journal Applied Material & Interfaces.
Researchers have figured out how to stop bread from moulding without pumping it full of nasty chemicals
Instead of adding preservatives directly into or onto food, natural compounds can be added to packaging material, which then interact with the food to prevent spoilage — a technique called “active packaging.”
Matreerials’ ACS Applied Bio Materials paper is distinguished as ACS Editor’s Choice
The article Tailoring the Antimicrobial Response of Cationic Nanocellulose-Based Foams through Cryo-Templating was selected to be featured in the ACS Editors’ Choice initiative.
