To the greatest extend, this innovative trend has to apply to the packaging manufacturing area and especially to food packaging implementation. To supply the rapid production increment of biodegradable plastics, there must be provided the effective development of scientific-technical potential that promotes the comprehensive exploration of their structural, functional, and dynamic characteristics. In this regard, the transition from passive barrier materials preventing water and oxygen transport as well as bacteria infiltration to active functional packaging that ensures gas diffusion selectivity, antiseptics' and other modifiers' release should be based on the thorough study of biopolymer crystallinity, morphology, diffusivity, controlled biodegradability and life cycle assessment. This Special Issue accumulates the papers of international teams that devoted to scientific and industrial bases providing the biodegradable material development in the barrier and active packaging as well as in agricultural applications. We hope that book will bring great interest to the experts in the area of sustainable biopolymers.Bio-Based and Biodegradable PlasticsResearch & information: generalbicsscbio-HDPEGAnatural additivesthermal resistanceUV stabilityfood packagingantimicrobial propertiespolyethylenebirch bark extractultrasoundthermoplastic starchbiodegradationpermeabilitydiffusionsorptionporous membraneshydrophilic and hydrophobic polymersPLA bottlebio-based and biodegradable polymerslife cycle assessmentenvironmental impactReCiPe2016 methodpackaging materialbio-based polymer compositenatural rubberwater absorptionmycological testbiodegradabilitymechanical propertiespoly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB)polylactic acid (PLA)biomaterialsgas permeabilitygas diffusionsegmental dynamicselectron spin resonance (ESR)scanning electron microscopy (SEM)differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-methyl-3-hydroxyvalerate)hydrolysispancreatic lipasemechanical behaviorchitosanpolymeric filmscrosslinkinggenipinsorption isothermdegree of crosslinkingpolylactidepoly(ethyleneglycol)blending under shear deformationselectrospinningoil absorptionMonte Carlobio-based polymersbiodegradable packagingbiopolymer structureencapsulationlife cycle analysisResearch & information: generalIordanskii Alexeyedt1328752Lotti NadiaedtSoccio MichelinaedtIordanskii AlexeyothLotti NadiaothSoccio MichelinaothBOOK9910557297903321Bio-Based and Biodegradable Plastics3038903UNINA
