Iranian Scientists Develop Biodegradable Polymeric Nanocomposite Used in Packaging Industry
‘Parsa Polymer Sharif’ company has produced the biodegradable polymeric nanocomposite based on the synthetic and natural polymers, e.g. starch as a low-cost sustainable material.
Certain nanomaterials have been included in this matrix to promote its mechanical and chemical properties.
The addition of nanomaterials to the biodegradable polymer compound has led to a 200% reduction in the moisture absorption.
The polymeric nanocomposite can be used in packaging industry, automotive industry and piping.
Earlier this month, another Iranian company had utilized nanofibrous polymer to make high-quality air filters for heavy trucks.
‘Behran Filter’ has manufactured the product which is a dust-absorbing air filter covered by a thin layer of nanofibrous polymeric web to improve its filtration efficiency and prolong its operational lifespan.
Covering the surface of the fabricated air filter with certain nanofibers has led to improvement in filter efficiency and floating dust absorption and longer operational lifespan.
The special air filters can be used for heavy trucks.
