Microwave induced construction of multiple networks for multifunctional soy protein-based materials

Petroleum-based plastics are useful but pose a great threat to the environment and human health. It is challenged for developing alternative materials to completely replace those plastics. In this work, soy protein (SPI) based films with excellent mechanical, biodegradable, and excellent UV-shielding were developed. The SPI-based films were crosslinked by ester bonds under microwave induction to form a strong chemical bond network, and by...
