Ethyl-cellulose (EC) was used for thermal fabrication of bioplastic materials using hot-melt extrusion. Plasticizers were chosen based on compatibility analysis using Hansen Solubility Parameters theory. The thermal analysis showed lower Tg and Tm values for all samples, suggesting the extrusion process, as well as plasticizer addition, affected the polymer thermal behavior.

Flexible waterborne polyurethane nanocomposite foams incorporated with halloysites as fresh-keeping packaging inserts for fresh fruits Food Packag. Shelf Life (IF 8.0) Pub Date : 2023-10-30 Sarp Kolgesiz, Ekin Berksun, Cuneyt Erdinc Tas, Serkan Unal, Hayriye Unal
Food losses due to the deterioration of fresh fruits and related economic problems can be prevented by the use of active food packaging materials. Here, waterborne polyurethane (WPU)/halloysite nanotube (HNT) nanocomposite foams with ethylene and moisture absorption properties are presented, which can be inserted into existing food packages as fresh-keeping packaging materials for the improvement of
