Biodegradable composite films based on kappa-carrageenan/locust bean gum blends and clays: Physical and antimicrobial properties

Biopolymer films offer a variety of advantages compared to synthetic films: biodegradability, use of renewable sources and potential edibility. Improvements in the functional properties of these films have been made by reinforcement of the polymer matrix with layered clay minerals such as montmorill...
