MUMBAI, India, Oct. 5 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641091388 A) filed by Manipal Academy Of Higher Education on July 28, 2026, for A Method For Eco-Friendly Pva-Starch-Tannic Acid Nanocomposite Films For Active Packaging.
Inventors include Sakshi Jasrotia; Yashoda Malgar Puttaiahgowda; Sonali Gupta; and Ananda Kulal.
The application for the patent was published on October 02, 2026, under issue no. 40/2026.
Abstract: The invention discloses an eco-friendly, multi-functional nanocomposite film specifically developed for active packaging applications. The film is formed from a biodegradable polymer matrix, which provides structural integrity and flexibility, reinforced with green-synthesized inorganic nanoparticles. The polymer matrix is derived from natural and synthetic polymers, enhanced by a natural cross-linking agent, contributing to the film's mechanical stability and high biodegradability. The incorporated nanoparticles impart enhanced mechanical strength, effective UV shielding, and significant antimicrobial properties. This unique composition allows for a synergistic effect among its components, offering a sustainable and highly effective alternative to conventional packaging materials. The film's active properties help extend the shelf life of packaged products and reduce food waste, providing an environmentally responsible solution. (FIG. 1)
