Packaging Materials: All‐Natural Sustainable Packaging Materials Inspired by Plant Cuticles (Adv. Sustainable Syst. 1‐2/2017)
Source abstract
Abstract
In article number 1600024, José A. Heredia-Guerrero, Athanassia Athanassiou, and co-workers present new, sustainable composite materials inspired by plant cuticles. These materials are fabricated by the impregnation of fibrous cellulose substrates with a naturally occurring polyhydroxylated fatty acid, and subsequent polymerization of the latter into a polyester. In the image a piece of this new material is shown together with tomato and pepper fruits. Cover image created by Dr. Duilio Farina.
