Carbon-rich materials, such as those derived from birch bark extraction, specifically suberin acids, can fulfill this role. Previous research has demonstrated that adding suberin acid residues (SAR) at 20% and 50% by weight significantly enhances the gas barrier properties of surface-finishing materials based on poly(lactide) (PLA) and polycaprolactone (PCL), particularly in terms of total VOC (TVOC) and formaldehyde emissions. This study aims to explore whether these properties can be further improved through the incorporation of nano-zinc oxide (nano-ZnO). Previous research has shown that these nanoparticles possess strong resistance to biological factors and can positively affect the characteristics of nanofilms applied as surface protection. The study employed PLA and PCL finishing layers blended with SAR powder at 10% w\/w and included 2% and 4% nano-zinc oxide nanoparticles. The resulting blends were milled to create a powder, which was subsequently pressed into 1 mm-thick films. These films were then applied to raw particleboard surfaces. TVOC and formaldehyde emission tests were conducted. Additionally, the fungal resistance of the coated surfaces was assessed. The results showed that PLA\/SAR and PCL\/SAR composites with the addition of nano-zinc oxide nanoparticles exhibited significantly improved barrier properties, offering a promising avenue for developing biodegradable, formaldehyde-free coatings with enhanced features in the furniture industry. Furthermore, by utilizing SAR as a post-extraction residue, this project aligns perfectly with the concept of upcycling.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma17153868","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,5]],"date-time":"2024-08-05T13:57:28Z","timestamp":1722866248000},"page":"3868","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Incorporation of Nano-Zinc Oxide as a Strategy to Improve the Barrier Properties of Biopolymer\u2013Suberinic Acid Residues Films: A Preliminary Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Aleksandra","family":"Je\u017co","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Wood Sciences and Furniture, Warsaw University of Life Sciences\u2014SGGW, Nowoursynowska St. 159, 02-776 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Faksawat","family":"Poohphajai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"InnoRenew CoE, Livade 6a, 6310 Izola, Slovenia"},{"name":"Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Information Technologies, University of Primorska, 6000 Koper, Slovenia"},{"name":"Department of Bioproducts and Biosystems, Aalto University School of Chemical Engineering, 00076 Aalto, Finland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7393-8073","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rene","family":"Herrera Diaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"InnoRenew CoE, Livade 6a, 6310 Izola, Slovenia"},{"name":"Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Information Technologies, University of Primorska, 6000 Koper, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1463-0540","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Grzegorz","family":"Kowaluk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Wood Sciences and Furniture, Warsaw University of Life Sciences\u2014SGGW, Nowoursynowska St. 159, 02-776 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Yang, L., Wu, Y., Yang, F., and Wang, W.
