Starch-based plastics, which are derived from treated starch from plants, may not be as safe or environmentally benign as previously assumed. Composed mainly of starch and typically blended with ...

Researchers from Queen Mary University of London have made a major breakthrough in sustainable electronics by developing new nanocomposite films made from starch instead of petroleum-based materials, ...

The bio-based material completely breaks down after seven months. Scientists may have found the answer to manufacturing plastics products that actually break down without forming into ...

Starch has been extensively investigated as a binder for plant fiber-based biocomposite materials; however, relatively poor mechanical properties and moisture sensitivity limit their applicability. In ...

The company began producing starch-based isosorbide last November ... used in a number of biodegradable materials, for the joint development projects with Nano Tim. The two companies are looking ...

Starch-based wall materials refer to a type of natural polymer material that uses starch or its derivatives to coat fat-soluble components with its hydrophobic cavities. The preparation methods of ...

In addition, the contamination of the substrate by-product also limits the recyclability of the fiber-based substrates, and the paper, paperboard, or corrugated material ends up in landfill sites ...

While polymer-based packaging material has been very extensively used ... Adhesive types used in paper industries are water-based adhesives both synthetic and bio-polymer based (starch, cellulose, ...
