Gamma irradiation-induced enhancement of agar-based bioplastics incorporating poly(lactic acid) and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)

Key Points

• Enhanced material properties were noted after gamma irradiation of bioplastics, improving overall quality.
• The combination of poly(lactic acid) and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) in agar-based bioplastics showed significant improvements.
• Experiments employed gamma irradiation to assess its effects on the performance of bioplastics under various conditions.
• This innovative approach may expand sustainable alternatives for environmentally friendly packaging solutions.
