AkzoNobel, a producer of specialty chemicals, paints and coatings headquartered in the Netherlands, has developed a coating technology that makes paper cups recyclable and compostable. The EvCote ...
The amount of plastic waste increases every year. Some of this waste is due to plastic packaging used to protect food. As part of the BioActiveMaterials project, researchers at the ...
Figure 1. (a) Chemical structure of boric acid-crosslinked poly(vinyl alcohol) coating on paper, (b-c) Oxygen and water vapor barrier properties, (d-f) Tensile ...
Cups, cartons and food wrappers made of paper might seem like they would be biodegradable, but many contain a plastic coating that can't be composted. Although plastic-free, sustainable paper products ...
We demonstrate the fabrication of highly transparent conductive networks on a cellulose nanofiber paper, called cellulose nanopaper. Uniform coating of the conductive nanomaterials, such as silver ...
Engineer Nguyen Anh Cuong and his team in Dong Nai spent two years developing an innovative water-based polymer coating for paper packaging that enables disposable cups to decompose almost entirely ...
