Enhanced barrier performance of silane-modified anionic polysaccharides in packaging paper coatings: Carboxymethyl glucomannan, κ-carrageenan, and carboxymethyl cellulose.
Rising environmental concerns have driven biopolymer coatings for paper packaging; however, their water solubility and fragility hinder water barrier and mechanical performance. To address these issues, our group developed a series of novel silane-modified polysaccharides by incorporating potassium methyl siliconate (P...
