Organic electronic devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), quantum dot LEDs, and organic photovoltaics are promising technologies for future electronics. However, achieving long-term stability of organic-based optoelectronic devices has been regarded as a crucial problem to be solved. In this work, a simple and reproducible fabrication method for ultralow water permeation barrier films having a triple-layered (triad) hydrogenated silicon nitride (a-SiN:H)/nanosilicon oxynitride (n-SiON)/hybrid silicon oxide (h-SiO) multistructure is presented. Two triad (a-SiN:H/n-SiON/h-SiO) multistructure barrier films are deposited on both sides of a poly(ethylene terephthalate) substrate using a combination of low-pressure plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition and dip coating. The deposited films show a high average transmittance (400-700 nm) of 84% and an ultralow water vapor transmission rate of 2 × 10 g/m/day. In the electroluminescence characteristics of OLEDs encapsulated with two triad barrier films, the operational lifetime () of OLEDs is 1584 h, which is almost similar to that (1416 h) of OLEDs encapsulated with a glass lid.

Fresh-cutting fruits is a common practice in markets and households, but their short shelf life is a challenge. Active packaging is a prominent strategy for extending food shelf life. A systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines to explore the performance and materials used in biodegradable active packaging for fresh-cut fruits.

The valorization of potato peel side streams for food packaging applications, especially for the substitution of current petrochemical-based oxygen barrier solutions such as EVOH, is becoming increasingly important. Therefore, potato peel-based films and coatings (on PLA) were developed containing 10-50% (/ potato peel) citric acid (CA). To determine the impact of CA concentration on the structure and physicochemical properties of cast films and coatings, ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, moisture adsorption isotherms, tensile properties, light transmittance, oxygen permeability, carbon dioxide transmission rate, and water vapor transmission rate measurements were performed.

Currently, there is a rush to develop green polymeric films such as biodegradable chitosan (CH) films to control and prevent plastic pollution from degrading the environment. This study reports a novel and sustainable green approach to the development of CH films using lemon juice (LJ) and lemon peel extract (LPE), the latter to dilute the LJ. The LPE was also utilized for the synthesis of ZnFeO nanoparticles (NPs), adding to this work's novelty.

A trend has been established concerning the research and development of various green and biodegradable plastics for multi-purpose applications, aiming to replace petroleum-based plastics. Herein, we report the synthesis of chitosan (CH) films using lemon juice; these were reinforced with NiZnFeO nanoparticles (NiZnFeO NPs) to obtain improved mechanical and barrier properties, facilitating their future application as sustainable, corrosion-resistant coatings for medical instruments. The synthesized NiZnFeO NPs had a crystallite size of ~29 nm.
