Article Synopsis
  • The increasing demand for food packaging that ensures safety and quality is a significant challenge, and biodegradable polymers like poly(lactic acid) (PLA) present a solution.
  • The study focuses on creating PLA-based materials with antibacterial properties by incorporating silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) stabilized by a copolymer and using advanced techniques to analyze their characteristics.
  • Results suggest that these PLA-PEG biocomposites with AgNPs show promise for extending food storage while also being biodegradable.

The ecological problems emerging due to accumulation of non-biodegradable plastics are becoming more and more urgent. This problem can be solved by the development of biodegradable materials which will replace the non-biodegradable ones. Among numerous approaches in this field, there is one proposing the use of polysaccharide-based materials.
