International team develops biodegradable film from milk protein, clay
In Australia, researchers at Flinders University are leading a team of international researchers in developing biodegradable plastics based on calcium caseinate—a protein derived from milk—combined with starch, bentonite nanoclay, glycerol and polyvinyl alcohol. The team has developed a thin film that, in early tests, appears to steadily break down in soil, with full disintegration in […]
