      and Polysiloxane Outer Layer.

AB  - Paper-based materials are highly desirable as packaging materials due to their 
      numerous advantages that include low cost, renewability, and biodegradability. 
      However, their hydrophilicity has limited their range of applications. Reported 
      herein is a facile and economical approach for the preparation of biodegradable 
      water-resistant paper for food-contact applications. Commercial printing paper 
      and cup papers are coated with melamine, which is FDA approved for food-contact 
      applications. Subsequently, a water-repellent outer layer is applied using 
      poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)-isocyanate. A relationship between the PDMS 
      concentration and water contact angles (WCAs) of the obtained coating was 
      studied. Typically, the coated cup paper and printing paper had coating loadings 
      of 1.61 +/- 1.10 and 0.93 +/- 0.74 wt %, respectively. After the coatings had been 
      applied, the WCAs were very high (>125 degrees ), and water absorption had decreased by 
      70% for printing paper and by 35% for cup paper. Considering the facile 
      fabrication method and the low-cost food-safe raw materials, herein, this 
      approach will have great potential for the large-scale production of materials 
      for use in food- and nonfood contact applications.
