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...
