Article Synopsis
  • The study addresses the limitations of polylactic acid (PLA) in high-performance films due to its low melt strength and brittleness.
  • Researchers created ternary thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) by combining PLA, poly(caprolactone) (PCL), and natural rubber (NR), which improves melt strength and allows for stable film production.
  • The resulting biodegradable films demonstrate enhanced mechanical properties, excellent heat shrinkage (over 35% with 15 phr NR), and present a promising solution for addressing plastic film pollution.

A novel fungal strain, Aspergillus ficuum Gim 3.6, was evaluated for its tannase-producing capability in a wheat bran-based solid-state fermentation. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) analysis revealed that the strain was able to degrade tannic acid to gallic acid and pyrogallol during the fermentation process.
