Characterization and in situ Biodegradation Analysis of Brown Kraft Paper Coated with PHA for Potential Sustainable Packaging
The results show that brown kraft paper coated with P(3HB-co-3HV) was more hydrophobic than uncoated and P(3HB)-coated brown kraft paper. This study encourages further investigations of brown kraft paper coated with PHA to develop biodegradable food packaging, paving the way for a sustainable alternative to non-biodegradable packaging material.
