plastics are well-established for convenient and safe packaging and distribution of food and feed goods. at present, this special sector of the plastic market displays remarkably increasing quantities of its annual production. caused by the ongoing limitation and strongly fluctuating prices of fossil feedstocks, classically used for plastic production, there is an evident trend to switch toward...

Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are an effective antibacterial agent, but their application in food packaging is limited due to easy agglomeration and oxidation. In this study, microcapsules were fabricated using Ginkgo biloba essential oil (GBEO) as core material chitosan type B gelatin biopolymer capsule materials. These then modified with green-synthesized Ag NPs, blended into the polylactic a...

in order to maintain the quality and increase the shelf life of fruits, many studies have been carried out in terms of the packaging specially applications of the nano-composite packages in the packaging. because of the low storage ability of the plum fruit, in this study, the effects of the four nano-composite packages and common polyethylene (as a control) were analyzed on maintaining quality...

Non-porous materials like cellulose and starch can be extracted from agro- industrial wastes incorporated with nanoparticles for effective biotechnological purposes. In this study, silver (AgNps), silver-cellulose (AgNps-C) silver-starch (AgNps-S) were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to identify viable biomolecules involved in ca...

Gold-coated silver wire was developed to alleviate the high cost of Au used in semiconductor packaging. Ball-bonding and stitch-bonding techniques were fabricate dummy packaging material, comprising 97.3 % Ag, 97.3% Au-Coated 99.99 %Au wires. The ball shear test (BST), pull (BPT), microstructural attributes ultrasonic bonding interfaces compared with initial properties, both before after highly...
