Tuning the Mechanical and Functional Properties of Pea Protein-Based Bioplastics via Different Physical and Chemical Cross-Linking Methods. In ACS Applied Polymer Materials (Vol. 6, Issue 3, pp. 1891–1899). American Chemical Society (ACS). https://doi.org/10.1021/acsapm.3c027372637-6105 (electrónico)https://hdl.handle.net/10272/23706Protein-based bioplastics have been highly investigated in order to substitute conventional plastics. This is due to their biodegradability and natural origin, which reduce well-known plastic pollution. Nevertheless, their low mechanical properties and high environmental sensitivity have slowed their advance to the market. One solution to this problem is the use of additional cross-linking methods, which improve the bioplastics’ properties. In this sense, the main goal of this study was to evaluate the influence of different cross-linking methods (physical, chemical, and enzymatic) on the mechanical and functional properties of pea protein-based bioplastics. According to the results obtained in this work, an additional cross-linking stage could tune the properties of protein-based bioplastics.engAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/Pea ProteinCross-linkingBioplasticsInjection moldingBiodegradabilityjournal article10.1021/acsapm.3c02737open access2304.01 Plásticos Celulares3312 Tecnología de Materiales
