Transparent Pullulan/Mica Nanocomposite Coatings with Outstanding Oxygen Barrier Properties

Transparent Pullulan/Mica Nanocomposite Coatings with Outstanding Oxygen Barrier Properties

This study presents a new bionanocomposite coating on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) made of pullulan and synthetic mica. Mica nanolayers have a very high aspect ratio (α), at levels much greater than that of conventional exfoliated clay layers (e.g., montmorillonite). A very small amount of mic...
