Novel Food Packaging Based on Naturally-Plasticized Poly (Lactic Acid) for Enhanced Nutritional Storage
In order to contribute to sustainable development, alternatives to fuel-based polymers must be employed. Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) is a common natural polymer that is currently used in food packaging applications but with limited applicability due to its poor mechanical behavior (high elastic modulus and low elongation at break). [..] READ MORE
