The Preparation of All-Cellulose Nanocomposite Film from Isolated Cellulose of Corncobs as Food Packaging

The preparation of chitosan-Ag nanocomposite for food packaging

The present study was carried out to investigate the preparation of chitosan-Ag nanocomposite filmfor food packaging. Since chitosan is a suitable alternative to produce packaging films due to favorablefactors such as biodegradability and abundance in the world, therefore in this study, it was preparedchitosan-Ag nanocomposite with antibacterial properties for food packaging b...

Preparation of cellulose nanoparticle from cinnamon

The preparation of cellulose nanostructures is considered in this paper. Cellulose nanoparticles(nano cellulose) were extracted from cinnamon for the first time. The chemically-induceddestruction strategy based on controlled strong acid hydrolysis treatment was used for dissolutionof lignin and fragmentation of cellulose to nano sized structure. The products werecharacterized by scanning electr...

Synthesis and Characterization of Silver Nanocomposite as a Food Packaging

Today nanopackaging has been applied in order to increase the quality and safety of foods. In this study the possibility of using silver nanocomposite as food packaging is investigated. Silver nanoparticles were prepared by chemical reduction and to approve the presence of silver nanoparticles, UV-VS spectroscopy was used. The mentioned test showed the formation of silver nanoparticles by exhib...

Functional Polymer Nanocomposite Materials from Microfibrillated Cellulose

Characterization of nano-biocomposite films reinforced with nanofibrillated cellulose and montmorillonite as a potential application for Food packaging industry

In this study, polyvinyl alcohol- Nanofibrillated cellulose –Montmorillonite (PVA-NFC-MMT)and Ethylene-vinyl acetate- Nanofibrillated cellulose –Montmorillonite (EVA-NFC-MMT) nanocompositescontaining 2% weight of NFC and MMT were prepared by melt blending method. Then, the effect ofNFC and MMT as reinforcing materials on biodegradability, morphology, and mechanical, thermal an...
