Correction: Recent Advancements in Nanocomposites-Based Antibiofilm Food Packaging

In the article “Recent Advancements in Nanocomposites-Based Antibiofilm Food Packaging” by Bandana Padhan et al. (Journal of Polymer Materials, 2025, Vol. 42, No. 2, pp. 411–433. doi:10.32604/jpm.2024.059156), originally published online on December 9, 2024, and formally included in Vol. 42, No. 2 (published on July 11, 2025), Table 1 contained incorrect information regarding antimicrobial effects of materials incorporating silver and ethyl lauroyl arginate (LAE®). The corrected version of Table 1 is provided below.

A correction has also been made to the text in Section: Silver Nanoparticles against Biofilm, Paragraph 5, which previously misrepresented the antimicrobial effects of the materials.

Corrected Paragraph

“In a study conducted by [28], the antibacterial activity of two novel active films with silver, as IONPURE IPL, and ethyl lauroyl arginate (LAE®) respectively was assessed. One of these films was fabricated by incorporating silver in a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) matrix while the other was fabricated using an LAE® incorporated biofilm material INZEA F19. While silver incorporated LDPE films showed no antibacterial activity against E. coli and Aspergillus flavus, LAE® incorporated INZEA F19 reduced the growth of Salmonella enterica (S. enterica) but did not inhibit the growth of Aspergillus flavus. Interestingly, a 99.99% reduction in growth of Pseudomonas putida was observed when active polystyrene (PS) pads incorporated with LAE® were used. Notably, LAE® retained its antibacterial action against S. enterica even after thermal treatment at 180°C for 6 and 15 min (Fig. 1) [28].”
