Natural Biopolymer-Based Nanocomposite Films for Packaging Applications (2007, methodology): “Xu et al. (2006) prepared chitosan-based nanocomposite films with Na-MMT and Cloisite 30B using a solvent casting method.”
Polysaccharides as Edible Films and Coatings: Characteristics and Influence on Fruit and Vegetable Quality—A Review (2021, background): “Plasticisers are low-molecular, non-volatile compounds, such as monosaccharides, oligosaccharides (glucose, fructose, sucrose, and honey) [5], polyols (glycerol, sorbitol, xylitol, polyethylene glycols) [181–185], lipids and derivatives (phospholipids, fatty acids) [186,187] and clay [188].”
Nanocomposites for food packaging applications (2009, result): “Similar results were reported by Lotti et al. (2008) for low-density polyethylene (LDPE) treated with an organoclay, and also by Xu, Ren, and Hanna (2006) for chitosan films with MMT.”
Chitosan/clay films' properties as affected by biopolymer and clay micro/nanoparticles' concentrations (2009, methodology): “All chitosan films were degraded at 286–297 C, which agrees well with the results reported by Cervera, Heinämäki, Räsänen, et al. (2004) and Xu et al. (2006).”
