MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611049919 A) filed by DIT University, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, on April 20, for 'a biodegradable starch-based bioplastic film for dye remediation.'
Inventor(s) include Yogita; Ravi K. Shukla; and Samta Manori.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a biodegradable starch-based bioplastic film for dye remediation and a method for its preparation and use. The film comprises potato starch as a polymer matrix, deionized water in a starch-to-water ratio of 1:20 (w/v) as a gelatinizing medium, and glycerol at about 25% of the starch concentration as a plasticizer, wherein the components are processed by heating, plasticization, casting, and drying to form a free-standing film. The resulting biofilm is capable of sunlight-mediated degradation of Eosin Yellow dye in aqueous media, achieving up to about 99.54% degradation within 1 hour, and is applicable for treatment of contaminated wastewater and laboratory dye solutions in an eco-friendly and sustainable manner."
