High flexibility and toughness are key criteria for an effective bioplastic packaging film.
However, in most studies, the flexibility of thermoplastic starch (TPS) films is always …

In the current study, starch-based active nanocomposite films reinforced with cellulosic
nanocrystals (CNCs) of Kudzu were developed as an alternative option to existing …

Starch-based films have limited applications due to their hydrophilicity and poor mechanical
performance. Herein, thermoplastic starch (TPS) nanocomposite films with chitin nanofibers …

Rapid exhaustion of petroleum resources coupled with increasing awareness of global
environmental problems related to the use of conventional plastics are the main driving …

The objective of this work is to examine the effect of amylose–amylopectin ratios on physical,
mechanical, and thermal properties of starch‐based bionanocomposite films. Starch sources …

There is an increasing need for biodegradable, environmentally friendly plastics to replace
the petroleum-based non-degradable plastics which litter and pollute the environment …

In this work, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), bleached cellulose nanofibers (bCNFs), and
unbleached cellulose nanofibers (ubCNFs) isolated by acid hydrolysis from Agave tequilana …

Food packaging materials are ubiquitous and various methods are employed to degrade
based on the pursuit of greenness and safety, but there are still contaminating components …

Nowadays, the development of biodegradable packaging materials from natural renewable
sources has attained great attraction in the research field to mitigate environmental …

This study explores the preparation of corn starch (CS) films incorporated with nanocellulose
fiber (NCF) and different concentrations of thymol (0.1, 0.3, and 0.5% weight of …
