Development of edible coatings based on different biopolymers to enhance the internal shelf-life quality of table eggs
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-12-01)
Article
Open AccessFresh hen eggs constitute a perishable food and are widely consumed worldwide because of their nutritional value. The eggshell is a natural barrier that protects the egg. However, it is very porous and fragile, which makes ... -
Study of using cork powder as an adjuvant bio-flame retardant in acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene flame retardant formulations
(Elsevier, 2024-07-01)
Article
Open AccessBy having a challenging prospect of developing more environmentally friendly flame-retardant (FR) acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) formulations, an initial study related to the effect of combining ammonium polyphosphate ... -
Benefits of incorporating lignin into starch-based films: a brief review
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-08-13)
Article
Open AccessPolysaccharides are an excellent renewable source for developing food-packing materials. It is expected that these packages can be an efficient barrier against oxygen; can reduce lipid peroxidation, and can retain the ... -
Plant-based films for food packaging as a plastic waste management alternative: potato and cassava starch case
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-08-23)
Article
Open AccessThe escalating environmental impact of plastic packaging waste necessitates sustainable alternatives in food packaging. This study explores starch-based films derived from cassava and potato as viable substitutes, aiming ... -
Phosphorus-based flame-retardant acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymer with enhanced mechanical properties by combining ultrahigh molecular weight silicone rubber and ethylene methyl acrylate copolymer
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-03-27)
Article
Open AccessThe present work proposes to investigate the effect of an ultrahigh molecular weight silicone rubber (UHMW-SR) and two ethylene methyl acrylate copolymers (EMA) with different methyl acrylate (MA) content on the mechanical ... -
Cellulose nanocrystal allomorphs: morphology, self-assembly, and polymer end-tethering toward chiral metamaterials
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2024-03-11)
Article
Open AccessSince the early observations of plane polarized light rotation by tartaric acid by Jean-Baptiste Biot (1) and Louis Pasteur’s later discovery of tartrate enantiomers in 1848, (2) the significance of chirality persists ... -
Enhancing char formation of flame retardant epoxy composites: Onigiri-like ZIF-67 modification with carboxymethyl ß-cyclodextrin crosslinking
(Elsevier, 2024-06-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyTo enhance char formation of flame retardant epoxy (EP) composites, carboxymethyl ß-cyclodextrin (CM-ß-CD) is employed as an etchant for or ZIF-67 derivatives. In the early stage, etching plays a dominant role. The mismatch ... -
A gas-steamed route to mesoporous open metal-organic framework cages enhancing flame retardancy and smoke suppression of polyurea
(2024-02-05)
Article
Open AccessUp to now, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with open nanostructures have shown outstanding capabilities in trapping smoke particles compared to the original MOFs. However, only a few MOF-based strategies have been reported ... -
Recent trends in polymeric foams and porous structures for electromagnetic interference shielding applications
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-01-09)
Article
Open AccessPolymer-based (nano)composite foams containing conductive (nano)fillers limit electromagnetic interference (EMI) pollution, and have been shown to act as good shielding materials in electronic devices. However, due to their ... -

Biopolymer photonics: from nature to nanotechnology
(2023-08-27)
Article
Open AccessBiopolymers offer vast potential for renewable and sustainable devices. While nature mastered the use of biopolymers to create highly complex 3D structures and optimized their photonic response, artificially created ... -
The components’ roles in thermal stability and flammability of cork powder
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-05-18)
Article
Open AccessIn this study, an analysis of the influence of extractives, suberin and lignocellulosic components on the pyrolysis decomposition and fire reaction mechanisms of a cork oak powder from Quercus suber L. is presented. The ...
