A biodegradable resin particle, includes: a base particle containing a biodegradable resin; a first layer on a surface of the base particle, the first layer containing at least one cationic resin of a polyalkyleneimine, a polyallylamine and a polyvinylamine; and a second layer on the first layer, the second layer containing an anionic or nonionic hydrophobic compound.

Provided is a resin composition containing: a cellulose acylate (A); a thermoplastic elastomer (B); and a fiber (C).

Provided is a resin composition containing: a cellulose acylate (A); a thermoplastic elastomer (B); and a fiber (C).

A resin composition includes a resin (A), a resin (B), and resin particles (C), and has a continuous phase containing the resin (A) and dispersed phases containing the resin (B), in which when a cross section of the resin composition along an extrusion direction in producing the resin composition is observed, an area circle equivalent diameter d.sub.80, which is an area circle equivalent diameter corresponding to 80% from a small diameter side in a number cumulative distribution of area circle equivalent diameters of the dispersed phases, is 600 nm or less.

Mechanically strong, biodegradable and reusable aerogels are disclosed, which can be made with a cross-linked cellulose ester, and which exhibit a low density and high porosity. The aerogels disclosed herein may be used as sorbent materials and can be modified with a hydrophobic and/or oleophilic agent.

A method of producing biopolymer films is disclosed. The method includes pre-treating a carbon source, preparing a basal media, preparing an inoculum and fermenting the carbon source using the inoculum in the basal media so as to selectively modify the metabolic pathway of the microorganism to produce a biopolymer. Further, the method includes recovering the biopolymer resulting from the step of fermentation and blending the biopolymer with at least one blending agent to produce one or more biopolymer films.
