Abstract
  Composites of polypropylene (PP) and calcium lactate (CL) with a constant weight percentage of 60% and 40%, respectively, were compounded with 3, 5 and 7 phr of epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) plasticizer using an internal mixer. The testing samples were prepared using an injection molding technique. The ...  Read More

Abstract
  Some innovative solutions are proposed to the problem of the unavoidable physical migration of antioxidants from plastic films for packaging, in order to minimize the consequent undesirable effect of food contamination. In previous exploratory tests, phenolic antioxidant co-units were achieved and incorporated ...  Read More
