About
Research Summary
(inferred from publications by AI)The researcher's work centers on the application of advanced materials in food packaging, particularly nanocomposite films aimed at achieving sustainable and eco-friendly solutions. Their research spans several applied domains, including particleboard production from various resources such as coconut waste, plantain pseudostem, and bamboo. The papers discuss innovative uses of Cassava starch and Urea-Formaldehyde as adhesives in synthesizing particleboards, with a focus on reducing environmental impact through nanomaterials. This work bridges material science with food technology, emphasizing the development of durable, biodegradable materials for packaging that can be applied to agroforestry systems. The research also explores the physical and chemical properties of wood-based materials, including tree age-specific variations and hygrothermal behavior, which are critical for improving energy efficiency in construction applications. Additionally, the integration of sustainable supply chain practices is highlighted, reflecting broader social and environmental considerations in food production and trade.
