EXAMPLES
The disclosure will now be illustrated with working examples, which is intended to illustrate the working of the invention and not intended to take restrictively to imply any limitations on the scope of the present invention. Other embodiments are also possible.
Example 1:
0.3% of graphene oxide is combined with water to make a colloidal dispersion along with a dextrin or other soluble saccharides or polysaccharide using sonication or emulsified triglyceride or an emulsifier. This facilitates nanoscrolls monolayer specially modified with oxygen free radical and graphene oxide layers with holes. Further to the suspension are added biologically degradable 30% globular protein, 17% plasticizer, 3% thickener, 15% filler, and 2% fungicide. The plasticizer, thickener and filler can be any of that are well known in the art.
Example 2:
The coating composition as prepared in example 1 is thereafter applied to the surface of a paper pulp by dipping, enrobing, spraying or any other suitable application. The excess of the composition is removed by suitable means, and the coating is allowed to set or dry by warm air flow, prior to further processing or packaging. Coating thickness, pick-up and setting of the coating is accelerated by control of both the temperature of the coating composition of matter at the time of application and the surface temperature of the food product.
Example 3:
0.2% of graphene oxide is combined with water to make a colloidal dispersion along with a dextrin using sonication or emulsified triglyceride or an emulsifier. To the suspension are added biologically degradable 15% globular protein, 10% plasticizer, 2.9% thickener, 15% filler, and 2% fungicide. The suspension so obtained can be used for the coating of a paper pulp.
Example 4:
In order to prepare a coated bottle with the coated paper pulp of examples 1 or 3, two halves of the bottle are first prepared through vacuum pulping process. The two halves are dried naturally and hot pressed. The hot-pressed bottle is sprayed with the coating composition and baked or annealed in the oven to almost 180°C. Annealing makes the final product permeable to oxygen which is helpful for any kind of food packaging and carbonated drinks. Finally, a pouch head is kept in the center of the bottle, and biodegradable glue is applied on the lip of the bottle half. The bottle halves are attached together with the pouch in the center.
The bottle prepared by using the coated paper pulp of the present invention was tested and found to be water proof, hence devoid of leakage.
While the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described hereinabove, it should be understood that various changes, adaptations, and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention and the scope of the appended claims. It will be obvious to a person skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. The described embodiments are to be considered in all respects only as illustrative and not restrictive.
