Effect of Addition of Halloysite Nanoclay and SiO2 Nanoparticles on Barrier and Mechanical Properties of Bovine Gelatin Films (2012, background): “However, increasing concerns over the non-biodegradable nature complemented by serious waste disposal problems has led to enhanced interests all over the world to explore a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastics (Sorrentino et al. 2007; Sothornvit et al. 2010).”
Application of plastics and paper as food packaging materials – an overview (2013, background): “Nanocomposites are known to exhibit increased barrier properties, increased mechanical strength, and improved heat resistance compared to their neat polymers and conventional composites (Sorrentino et al., 2007).”
Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Antimicrobial Activity and Food Packaging Applications (2012, methodology): “…represents an alternative to conventional technologies used to improve the properties of polymers, since nanocomposites have improved barrier and mechanical properties as well as heat resistance when compared with the original polymers or conventional composites (Sorrentino et al., 2007).”
Preparation and characterization of cationic nanofibrillated cellulose from etherification and high-shear disintegration processes (2011, background): “Many studies reported that NFC can act as a reinforcing component in polymer composites (Iwamoto et al. 2005; Nogi et al. 2005; Sorrentino et al. 2007; Zimmermann et al. 2005; Eichhorn et al. 2010; Hubbe et al. 2008; Cheng et al. 2007; Tingaut et al. 2009; Siqueira et al. 2009; Siró and Plackett…”
