  • Patent number: 11920031
    Abstract: Disclosed is a high ultraviolet blocking polylactic acid composite material reinforced by POSS modified bamboo powder. The preparation method therefor includes steps of carrying out chemical grafting modification of bamboo powder with proper particle size by using POSS containing specific organic groups, and then adding the modified bamboo powder to polylactic acid for melting and co-extrusion to obtain POSS modified bamboo powder. The present disclosure makes full use of the 30% lignin in the bamboo powder, having the advantages of wide source, biological metabolizability and low price; the present disclosure does not need the traditional inorganic ultraviolet blocking agent, nor need to extract refined lignin from natural materials, but directly takes inexpensive and easy-to-obtain bamboo powder as main raw material. The composite material prepared in the present disclosure can greatly improve the UV blocking performance, mechanical properties and thermal stability of the PLA.

  • Patent number: 11905396
    Abstract: Renewably-sourced biodegradable polyolefin packaging, utensils, and containers include a renewably-sourced polyolefin (for example, polyethylene and polypropylene) and a biodegrading agent. The renewably-sourced biodegradable polyolefin packaging is made from plant materials typically by polymerizing olefins that are made from reducing alcohols created by fermenting plant materials. An example of a suitable plant material is sugarcane and its derivatives. The biodegrading agent accelerates the biodegradation of polyolefin packaging even in anaerobic and dark (i.e., absent of ultraviolet light) environments. Such a packaging is particularly useful for packaging frozen food that is to be microwaved in the packaging. The package is also particularly usable as packaging for frozen comestibles, which are often stored at dry-ice temperatures.
