An adhesive film is formed of an adhesive composition that includes a monomer mixture including a hydroxyl group-containing (meth)acrylate and a comonomer, and nanoparticles. The adhesive film has a glass transition temperature (Tg) of about −20° C. or less, an index of refraction of about 1.40 to about 1.55, and a haze of about 3% or less at a thickness of 100 μm.

Provided is a heat dissipation sheet capable of effectively enhancing adhesiveness and long-term insulation reliability. The heat dissipation sheet according to the present invention contains first inorganic particles having an aspect ratio of 2 or less, second inorganic particles having an aspect ratio of more than 2, and a binder resin. In this heat dissipation sheet, a content of the second inorganic particles is larger than a content of the first inorganic particles in 100% by volume of a region having a thickness of 15% on a first surface side in a thickness direction, and the content of the first inorganic particles in 100% by volume of the region having a thickness of 15% is larger than the content of the first inorganic particles in 100% by volume of a central region having a thickness of 70%.

A biopolymer blend is provided that comprises a combination of three components: poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT); agriculture sourced polylactic acid (PLA); and engineered proteinaceous eggshell nanoparticles. The two polymer components can be present in any ratio but an approximate 70:30 ratio is preferred. The engineered proteinaceous eggshell nanoparticles are preferably about 10-25 nanometers. Also provided are methods of preparing biopolymer film and packaging components. Pelleted poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) and agriculture sourced polylactic acid (PLA) are dissolved in chloroform and mixed together to form a polymer blend, and engineered proteinaceous eggshell nanoparticles are incorporated into the polymer blend, which is then extruded to create a biopolymer film or component.
