New Advances in Environmental Friendly Materials
Journal Title: Modern Approaches on Material Science - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
This last decade has been characterized by the acquisition of new materials based on the biomass, with the objective of replacing the materials obtained from petroleum derivatives, due to the high costs, added to the fact that they are non-renewable inputs and as a measure of the preservation of the environment [1]. In all areas of study has been this responsibility of searching for new and versatile materials. Packaging, medical materials, agro-industry, cosmetics, even energy applications, in all these fields are in constant search to be at the forefront and at the same time reduce all those materials that, during and at the end of their life cycle, cause damage to the environment, either due to the emission of greenhouse gases, or because they lack biodegradable and / or compostable properties [2].Carbohydrates and lignin are the most abundant compounds in biomass and are used as biomolecules to replace oil derivatives. In this field, starch has many advantages over synthetic materials such as the possibility of obtaining thermoplastic films with important characteristics [3], in addition to being a renewable and low-cost resource. In cases where these materials have been limited by the mechanical properties and a greater permeation, this event has been improved with the incorporation of nanofillers of starch materials of biomass origin to overcome these disadvantages [4,5].
