Abstract

The development of biodegradable packaging materials is becoming more popular as a way to extend the shelf life of food products as well as satisfy consumer needs for ecologically responsible packaging. Nanocomposite technology can be used to overcome the intrinsic drawbacks of natural polymer-based packaging materials, such as their inferior mechanical and barrier qualities. In an effort to produce nanoclays and nanolayered silicate as reinforcing filler composites for use in packaging materials, a great deal of research has been done in this area recently. Although there have been many uses for nanoclays in food packaging, the most popular types at the moment are montmorillonite (MMT), halloysite, bentonite (BT), cloisite, and biologically modified nanoclays. The use of nanoclays for reinforcement greatly enhances the mechanical, barrier, and thermal properties of the films. The purpose of the article is to examine the development of nanoclay-based food packaging materials.

纳米粘土在生物基食品包装中的作用综述

生物可降解包装材料的开发越来越受欢迎，作为延长食品保质期的一种方式，同时满足消费者对生态负责任包装的需求。纳米复合材料技术可以用来克服天然聚合物基包装材料固有的缺点，如其较差的机械和阻隔性。为了制备纳米粘土和纳米层状硅酸盐作为增强填料复合材料用于包装材料，近年来在这一领域进行了大量的研究。虽然纳米粘土在食品包装中有很多用途，但目前最流行的类型是蒙脱土（MMT）、高岭土、膨润土（BT）、closite和生物改性纳米粘土。纳米粘土的使用大大提高了薄膜的机械性能、阻隔性和热性能。本文的目的是研究纳米粘土基食品包装材料的发展。

期刊介绍： The journal Silicon is intended to serve all those involved in studying the role of silicon as an enabling element in materials science. There are no restrictions on disciplinary boundaries provided the focus is on silicon-based materials or adds significantly to the understanding of such materials. Accordingly, such contributions are welcome in the areas of inorganic and organic chemistry, physics, biology, engineering, nanoscience, environmental science, electronics and optoelectronics, and modeling and theory. Relevant silicon-based materials include, but are not limited to, semiconductors, polymers, composites, ceramics, glasses, coatings, resins, composites, small molecules, and thin films.
