Electrospun Antimicrobial Films of Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-<i>co</i>-3-hydroxyvalerate) Containing Eugenol Essential Oil Encapsulated in Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles

Electrospun Antimicrobial Films of Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-<i>co</i>-3-hydroxyvalerate) Containing Eugenol Essential Oil Encapsulated in Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles

The main goal of this study was to develop poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-<i>co</i>-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) films with long-term antimicrobial capacity of interest in food packaging applications. To this end, eugenol was first highly efficiently encapsulated at 50 wt.-% in the pores of mesopor...
