Abstract
Biodegradable polymers have become a topic of great scientific and industrial interest due to their environmentally friendly nature. For the benefit of the market economy and environment, biodegradable materials should play a more critical role in packaging materials, which currently account for more than 50% of plastic products. However, various challenges remain for biodegradable polymers for practical packaging applications. Particularly pertaining to the poor oxygen/moisture barrier issues, which greatly limit the application of current biodegradable polymers in food packaging. In this review, various strategies for barrier property improvement are summarized, such as chain architecture and crystallinity tailoring, melt blending, multi-layer co-extrusion, surface coating, and nanotechnology. These strategies have also been considered effective ways for overcoming the poor oxygen or water vapor barrier properties of representative biodegradable polymers in mainstream research.

Abstract
Poly(glycolic acid) (PGA) is a semicrystalline biodegradable polyester with high gas barrier properties. However, due to its poor processability and low ductility, PGA could hardly find applications in the packaging field. Here, a strategy was adopted for in situ generation of high-aspect-ratio flexible microfibrils with strong interface affinity for the PGA matrix. Because poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) possesses impressive ductility, it was selected as the "fibrillar toughening phase" to enhance the ductility of PGA. Moreover, a chain extender was used to enhance the interfacial adhesion between the two polymers. The extrusion blown film technique was then used to develop fully biodegradable PGA/PBAT films with a superior combination of excellent barrier performance and robust mechanical properties. The PBAT phase can in situ form microfibrils under the influence of extensional flow. Simultaneously, the synergetic function of the extensional flow field could effectively promote the motion of the PGA molecular chain to develop an oriented crystalline microstructure. Because of the aligned oriented lamellar crystal of PGA and oriented PBAT fibril structures serving as robust "barrier walls" 60PGA/ADR blown films demonstrated dramatically improved resistance to oxygen and water vapor, with 59 and 44 times lower oxygen permeability and water vapor permeability, respectively, when compared to the neat PBAT blown film. As a result, PGA/PBAT blown films offer a variety of benefits, including superior ductility, toughness, and a strong gas barrier property. The potential of these films to degrade makes them a viable contender for replacing classical nondegradable packing films.

Abstract
Flexible implantable medical devices (IMDs) are an emerging technology that may substantially improve the disease treatment efficacy and quality of life of patients. While many advancements have been achieved in IMDs, the constantly straining application conditions impose extra requirements for the packaging material, which needs to retain both high stretchability and high water resistivity under dynamic strains in a physiological environment. This work reports a polyisobutylene (PIB) blend-based elastomer that simultaneously offers a tissue-like elastic modulus and excellent water resistivity under dynamic strains. The PIB blend is a homogeneous mixture of two types of PIB molecules with distinct molecular weights. The blend achieved an optimal Young's modulus of 62 kPa, matching those of soft biological tissues. The PIB blend film also exhibited an extremely low water permittivity of 1.6-2.9 g m-2 day-1, from unstrained to 50% strain states. The combination of high flexibility and dynamic water resistivity was tested using triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). The PIB blend-packaged TENG was able to stably operate in water for 2 weeks, substantially surpassing the protection offered by Ecoflex. This work offered a promising material solution for packaging flexible IMDs to achieve stable performance in a strained physiological environment.

Abstract
Polymer/clay composites are an innovative class of materials. In this study, we present a facile method for the preparation of biodegradable and robust PLA/organomodified montmorillonite (OMMT) composite films with excellent gas barrier performance. When the design of PLA/OMMT composite films, in addition to making OMMT have good intercalation effect in the matrix, the compatibility of intercalating polymer and matrix should also be considered. In this work, two polymers with high gas barrier properties, namely poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH), were selected to intercalate OMMT. The morphology and microstructures of the prepared PLA/PVA/OMMT and PLA/EVOH/OMMT composites were characterized by the X-ray diffraction measurement, scanning electron microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. It was shown that the good dispersibility of PVA in the PLA matrix, rather than the intercalation effect, was responsible for the improved gas barrier and mechanical properties of PLA/PVA/OMMT composite. The elongation at break increases from 4.5% to 22.7% when 1 wt % PVA is added to PLA/OMMT. Moreover, gas barrier of PLA/PVA1/OMMT measured as O2 permeability is 52.8% higher than that of neat PLA. This work provides a route to intercalate OMMT interlayer with high gas barrier polymers and thus can be a useful reference to fabricate PLA/OMMT composites with improved gas barrier and mechanical properties. A comparison of oxygen permeabilities with existing commercial packaging films indicates that the biodegradable PLA/PVA/OMMT may serve as a viable substitute for packaging film applications.

Abstract
The exfoliation of microcrystalline α-zirconium phosphate (α-ZrP) in an organic solvent is very difficult to achieve. Surprisingly, the addition of tetra(n-butyl)ammonium hydroxide (TBAOH) into a methanol dispersion of a nanosized α-ZrP brings about the complete exfoliation of nanosheets. To understand the mechanism, we examined the stepwise intercalation/exfoliation of the nanosized α-ZrP using TBAOH in four different solvents (water, methanol, ethanol, and butanol). Propionate groups on the edge of the nanosized α-ZrP prevent TBA cations from entering the galleries. Due to the formation of unstable solvent-intercalated α-ZrP with an increased interlayer distance in methanol and ethanol, TBA cations can overcome the steric hindrance and move into nanosheet layers to exchange with solvent molecules. However, the movability of the cations into the center of the galleries is preferred at a certain interlayer distance range, which leads to exfoliation of α-ZrP in methanol but intercalation only in ethanol. In water, in the beginning, neither intercalation nor exfoliation by TBA cations occurs. An additional amount of TBAOH causes the deformation of propionate groups and removes the barriers on the edges, followed by late intercalation and then exfoliation. On the other hand, butanol, as the solvent, is bulky and effectively limits the intercalation behavior of TBA cations. The weaker polarity of ethanol and butanol, compared with water and methanol, lowers the ion interactions in the solvent, which is another reason why they do not lead to exfoliation.

Abstract
![]()
Multifunctional bioplastics
have been prepared by amorphous reassembly
of cellulose, hemicelluloses (xylan), and hydrolyzed lignin. For this,
the biopolymers were dissolved in a trifluoroacetic acid–trifluoroacetic
anhydride mixture and blended in different percentages, simulating
those found in natural woods. Free-standing and flexible films were
obtained after the complete evaporation of the solvents. By varying
xylan and hydrolyzed lignin contents, the physical properties were
easily tuned. In particular, higher proportions of hydrolyzed lignin
improved hydrodynamics, oxygen barrier, grease resistance, antioxidant,
and antibacterial properties, whereas a higher xylan content was related
to more ductile mechanical behavior, comparable to synthetic and bio-based
polymers commonly used for packaging applications. In addition, these
bioplastics showed high biodegradation rates in seawater. Such new
polymeric materials are presented as alternatives to common man-made
petroleum-based plastics used for food packaging.

Abstract
A new methodology was developed for the immobilization of ionic liquids (ILs) on α-zirconium phosphate (ZrP) and montmorillonite (MMT) single-layer nanosheets via a facile coassembly process. The coassembled inorganic nanosheet/1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (BMIMCl) hybrids were systematically characterized. The results showed that the ILs were successfully assembled with ZrP or MMT single-layer nanosheets to form an intercalated structure. The inorganic nanosheet/IL hybrids can serve as efficient CO2 absorbents. The CO2 sorption of BMIMCl could be made up to 21 times more efficient because of the high exposure of the functional groups of BMIMCl in the coassembled hybrids. CO2 was physically absorbed by the hybrids with a slow equilibrium time at lower temperatures, whereas higher temperatures allowed for faster diffusion and chemical absorption of CO2. The best CO2 capture capacities of the hybrids were 0.73 mmol/g at 60 °C for ZrP/BMIMCl and 0.42 mmol/g at 70 °C for MMT/BMIMCl.
