Abstract
The food industry is considered one of the main contributors to plastic waste due to packaging. Sustainable and degradable packaging solutions are the need of the hour. Biopolymers have proved to be a promising replacement for petroleum based polymers. The main reason is their various intrinsic properties like antimicrobial nature and degradability. The main objective of this study was to develop chitosan (CS)/nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) and polylactic acid (PLA) based biofilms. The biofilms were developed using the drop casting method. The developed biofilms were characterized by SEM, FTIR, XRD, DSC, and thermogravimetric analysis. The performance of the biofilms was checked using mechanical testing, water solubility, porosity, antioxidant, and antibacterial activity. The developed biofilms can solve the issues of environmental pollution being faced by the food packaging industry.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
