Biodegradable packaging films with ε-polylysine/ZIF-L composites
Lei Zhang,Ziyuan Wang,Y Jiao,Zichen Wang,Xiuming Tang,Zhanxin Du,Zeyang Zhang,Shihai Lu,Changsheng Qiao,Jiandong Cui +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors developed a biodegradable packaging film with antimicrobial properties and mechanical strength using poly-polylysine/ZIF-L nanocomposites, and compared with commercial PE film, agar films and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/Chitosan (CS) packaging films with 4% ε[email protected] nan composites could significantly behave as potent antibacterial material in food packaging and preservation systems.

Influence of crystallinity on the biodegradation rate of injection-moulded poly(lactic acid) samples in controlled composting conditions
TL;DR: In this article, the degradation of poly(lactic acid) was investigated in both distilled water and controlled composting conditions at a temperature of 58 °C, and it was concluded that the denser structure of the initially crystalline sample was more impermeable to the enzymatic attach and to oligomer diffusion.
