Flexible thermoplastic starch films functionalized with copper particles for packaging of food products
Abstract Biodegradable films based on thermoplastic corn starch (TPS) and copper particles with antimicrobial capacity were developed. Copper nanoparticles (Cu) and silica coated copper microparticles (Si-Cu) in the range of 0.25 to 5% were used. Composite films were obtained by melt-mixing and subs...
