With rapid developments in the consumer electronics market, electrostatic capacitors need to store as much energy as possible within a rather restricted space. In this work, nanocomposite films combining two-dimensional core-shell NaNbO3@Al2O3 platelets (2D NN@AO Ps) and poly(vinylidene-fluoride hexafluoropropylene) (P(VDF-HFP)), featuring excellent energy storage capability, high efficiency, and ultrafast discharge performance, are designed and fabricated. Both the experimental results and finite element simulations confirm the superiority of these 2D NN@AO Ps nanocomposite films in improving the breakdown strength (Eb) and energy storage capability. In particular, the introduction of 3 vol% 2D NN@AO Ps results in much enhanced discharge energy density of 14.59 J cm-3 and outstanding discharge efficiency of 70.1% in NN@AO Ps/P(VDF-HFP) nanocomposite films, which is much greater than that of pure P(VDF-HFP) (7.74 J cm-3). The corresponding nanocomposite films exhibit excellent reliability in energy storage performance under consecutive cycling. Therefore, this research could reveal a new chapter in the study and application of polymer nanocomposites in energy-storage dielectric capacitors.

Self-healable, multilayered organosiloxane films were prepared thermal conversion of lamellar organosiloxane films containing poly(ethylene oxide)-polydimethylsiloxane-poly(ethylene oxide) block copolymers. The incorporation of silanolate groups enabled crack healing through dynamic siloxane equilibration. The enhanced hardness and suppressed cyclic siloxane formation resulting from the multilayered structure exhibit potential for practical applications.

Recently, interest in eco-friendly techniques for producing antibacterial food packaging films has surged. Within this context, plasma polymerization is emerging as a promising approach for applying degradable antibacterial coatings on various plastic films. This research therefore employs an atmospheric pressure aerosol-assisted plasma deposition technique to create polyethylene glycol (PEG)-like coatings embedding zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) of varying sizes on polyethylene (PE) substrates.

Achieving effective interfacial compatibility between hydrophilic cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) and hydrophobic vegetable oil polymers (VOPs) remained a significant challenge. To address this issue, we developed a one-component nanocomposite (OCN) based on hyperbranched CNF-grafted VOPs. Rigid precursor initiator poly (vinylbenzyl chloride) (PVBC) was first grafted onto the CNF surface via phase-transfer catalysis, forming a branched macroinitiator (CNF-g-PVBC) with chlorine contents ranging from 4.

Food packaging industries are growing to meet consumer demand and prevent pollution by adopting significant biopolymer advancements. Therefore, this study aimed to develop functionally active chitosan (CS)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based biopolymer films and evaluate the effect of Justicia Adhatoda extract (JAE), pure quercetin (Q), and CS-capped quercetin nanoparticles ((Q) NPs) on sustainable bread packaging. CS was successfully loaded onto (Q) by the one-pot method, which was confirmed by light absorption spectroscopy (UV), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

In the search of new bioactive and biobased films, the use of lignin nanoparticles (LNP) and cellulose nanofibers (CNF) has gained potential relevance in the last years. In this context, an enzymatic and environmentally friendly pretreatment with laccases has been proposed in this work to modify the properties of the developed cellulose-lignin nanocomposite films. Thus, the laccase treatment successfully polymerized kraft lignin as indicated by the increase in weight average molecular weight (from 3621 to 5681 Da) and the reduction in phenol content (from 552 to 324 mg GAE/g lignin).
