High-Throughput Fabrication of Antibacterial Starch/PBAT/AgNPs@SiO<sub>2</sub> Films for Food Packaging
In this current work, antimicrobial films based on starch, poly(butylene adipate-<i>co</i>-terephthalate) (PBAT), and a commercially available AgNPs@SiO<sub>2</sub> antibacterial composite particle product were produced by using a melt blending and blowing technique. The effe...

In this current work, antimicrobial films based on starch, poly(butylene adipate-<i>co</i>-terephthalate) (PBAT), and a commercially available AgNPs@SiO<sub>2</sub> antibacterial composite particle product were produced by using a melt blending and blowing technique. The effects of AgNPs@SiO<sub>2</sub> at various loadings (0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 wt%) on the physicochemical properties and antibacterial activities of starch/PBAT composite films were investigated. AgNPs@SiO<sub>2</sub> particles were more compatible with starch than PBAT, resulting in preferential distribution of AgNPs@SiO<sub>2</sub> in the starch phase. Infusion of starch/PBAT composite films with AgNPs@SiO<sub>2</sub> marginally improved mechanical and water vapor barrier properties, while surface hydrophobicity increased as compared with films without AgNPs@SiO<sub>2</sub>. The composite films displayed superior antibacterial activities against both Gram-positive (<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>) and Gram-negative (<i>Escherichia coli</i>) bacteria. The sample loaded with 1 wt% AgNPs@SiO<sub>2</sub> (SPA-1) showed nearly 90% inhibition efficiency on the tested microorganisms.
