The suitability of antimicrobial release films made from highly swellable polymers for use in food packaging was evaluated. The possibility of modulating the release kinetics of active compounds either by regulating the degree of cross-link of the polymer matrix or by using multilayer structures was addressed. The release kinetics of lysozyme, nisin, and sodium benzoate (active compounds with different molecular weights) were determined at ambient temperature (25°C). The effectiveness of the proposed active films in inhibiting microbial growth was addressed by determining the antimicrobial efficiency of the released active compounds. Micrococcus lysodeikticus, Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris, and Saccharomycescerevisiaewere used to test the antimicrobial efficiency of released lysozyme, nisin, and sodium benzoate, respectively. Results indicate that the release kinetics of both lysozyme and nisin can be modulated through the degree of cross-link of the polymer matrix, whereas multilayer structures need to be used to control the release kinetics of sodium benzoate. All the active compounds released from the investigated active films were effective in inhibiting microbial growth.

The incorporation of graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) within a polymer matrix can play an important role in the physical properties and the functionality of the composite material. Composites consisting of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and GnPs of different concentrations were developed by mixing GnPs with a molten form of the polymeric matrix. The effect of the GnPs content on the morphological, structural, and electrical properties of the composites were investigated. As shown, graphene presence and its concentration significantly modified the polymer matrix properties, a behavior that can be employed for tailoring its applicability in electrical applications. It was found that the increase of the graphene platelets concentration seems to promote the formation of graphene agglomerates, air gaps, and inhomogeneities, while higher dielectric constant/lower dielectric losses can be achieved.
