- Current progress on bio-based polymers and their future trends (2013, background): “These materials are suitable for a wide range of food packing applications including caps and closures, disposable items such as forks, spoons, knives, tubs, trays, and hot cup lids, and products such as housewares, cosmetics, and medical packaging (Philip et al. 2007).”
- Vascularized Bone Tissue Engineering: Approaches for Potential Improvement (2012, background): “Common biopolymers used for bone regeneration include collagen,(87) silk fibroin,(88) chitosan,(30,89) starch,(90,91) hyaluronic acid,(92) and polyhydroxyalkanoates.(93,94) Hydrogels are polymeric networks that have the ability to absorb and retain a large volume of water (80%–99%).”
- Biocomposites of different lignocellulosic wastes for sustainable food packaging applications (2018, background): “PHB presents high intrinsic fragility and due to its high crystallinity, exhibits a narrow processing window, thus hindering its processability in some common food packaging applications, such as thermoforming [3,4].”
