格鲁吉亚技术科学家从螃蟹壳和植物中制作了一种可制成的包装薄膜,比许多塑料更好地堵塞氧气和水分。 Georgia Tech scientists developed a compostable packaging film from crab shells and plants that blocks oxygen and moisture better than many plastics.

Georgia Tech的研究人员在白甲虫结构的启发下,利用螃蟹壳和植物纤维素的焦素制作了可生物降解的植物包装薄膜。 Researchers at Georgia Tech have created a biodegradable, plant-based packaging film using chitin from crab shells and cellulose from plants, inspired by a white beetle’s structure. 该材料形成一个密度高、氧和湿度强的屏障,其性能超过许多常规塑料。 The material forms a dense, oxygen- and moisture-resistant barrier that outperforms many conventional plastics. 2024年的一项突破 利用柠檬酸 来交叉连结纤维素 提高了抗湿度 A 2024 breakthrough using citric acid to cross-link cellulose improved its resistance to humidity. 这部影片是可再生的、可作成的,通过工业滚动到滚动过程可以缩放的。 The film is renewable, compostable, and scalable via industrial roll-to-roll processes. 专利已经提出,工业伙伴关系正在进行之中,以便将技术投放市场,用于食品、药品和个人护理包装。 Patents have been filed, and industry partnerships are underway to bring the technology to market for use in food, pharmaceutical, and personal care packaging.
