Fibrillar beta-lactoglobulin gels: Part 3. Dynamic mechanical characterization of solvent-induced systems.

abstract：:Plastics ending up in soil or landfill environment will eventually be degraded. At the same time a slow migration of additives from the plastics will occur. The additives and the degradation products of these and the polymer are potential compounds for bioconversion. To predict the rate of the migration of antioxidant...
