Preparation and characterization of PBAT/PLA/lemon-extract quantum dots by melt extrusion for enhanced antibacterial and sustainable packaging
Key Points
Enhanced antibacterial activity observed due to the incorporation of quantum dots in packaging materials.
Experiments show a 30% increase in antibacterial efficiency against common pathogens when quantum dots are used.
Characterization techniques included melt extrusion and spectroscopy to examine the properties of the new packaging materials.
The findings highlight the potential for using biodegradable materials in food packaging, reducing environmental impact.
