This paper reviews the recent development of starch-based materials, including both
fundamental and application researches. In order to overcome the weakness of pure starch …

Canola Council of Canada, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada The rising costs of nonrenewable
feedstocks and environmental concerns with their industrial usage have encouraged the …

Environmental concerns have led to extensive research for replacing polymer-based food
packaging with bio-nano-composites. In this study, incorporation of nano-cellulose into …

Gelatin films do not have sufficient water resistance to withstand high moist when used as
food packaging. In this study, the water resistance property of gelatin film was firstly …

The objectives of this paper are to review the thermal degradation and stability of starch and
starch‐based materials, including both fundamental sciences such as detecting techniques …

Starch can readily form complexes with polyphenols. However, its two components, namely
amylose and amylopectin, differ significantly in their ability to complex with phenolic …

This study introduces the development of a thermally responsive shape-morphing fabric
using low-melting-point polyamide shape memory actuators. To facilitate the blending of …

Various edible starch films were prepared via extrusion, with a particular focus on the effects
of the amylose content of starches from the same resource (corn) on film processibility and …

The method for preparation of foam concrete from solid wastes were proposed in this study,
where soda residue (SR), calcium carbide slag (CS), grand granulated blast-furnace slag …

Synthetic hydrogel has been widely used in several applications, but poor mechanical
stability and biodegradability limit their applications and raise environmental concerns …
