Technology
University

Active academic materials research using biodegradable PVOH with laponite or montmorillonite nanoclays to create high-oxygen-barrier paper. The reported best laponite formulation achieved oxygen permeability substantially below the cited PET comparison and remained repulpable and recyclable under the FBA protocol.
