Synthesis of Protein-Grafted Edible Bioplastic: A Predictive Framework for Injection Molding

”Abstract Conventional biopolymers frequently do not meet the severe mechanical shear, high barrier requirements, and rapid crystallization rates demanded by primary industrial packaging lines, such as beverage bottle manufacturing. This paper presents a structural methodology for a novel, 100% bio-based, edible resins utilizing a rigid polysaccharide backbone grafted with hydrophobic plant proteins optimized for primaryContinue reading “Synthesis of Protein-Grafted Edible Bioplastic: A Predictive Framework for Injection Molding”

Earth Month Project & Process Designs 🌎

Protein-Grafted Edible Resin For High-Volume Injection Molding April or Earth Month is a perfect time, especially in the post Artemis II glow, to put forth environmental design initiatives. Both of the attached presentations concern the modifications of existing industrial processes in order to modernize and optimize them for sustainability and public health. Both are important,Continue reading “Earth Month Project & Process Designs 🌎”
