More information
In the proposed project, biowaste, diatomite biomass and gamma irradiation will be combined to increase the yield of nanocellulose and improve the properties of the novel biocomposite. The biodegradable composite will serve as a packaging material and as a suspension to modify various substrates to improve their specific properties. It will also reduce the environmental impact of packaging and promote a more sustainable future.
