Researchers from Tarbiat Modares University have developed biodegradable nanocomposites using nanoparticles which can be used for food packaging.
The nanocomposites offers several advantages such as low permeability and sensitivity to gases as well as antibacterial and anti-oxidation properties.
The research was conducted in stages - in the first stage, cellulose crystalline nanoparticles and clay nanoparticles were mixed in various concentrations to alginate in order to generate bio- nanocomp
