Cassava starch films reinforced with cellulose nanowhiskers from oil palm mesocarp fibers
were produced by casting. Nanowhiskers were obtained by sulphuric acid hydrolysis …

This research is focused on the development of a new starch-based nanocomposite films
reinforced with cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) for food packaging purposes. A series of starch …

Sustainable packaging development with lower environmental impact is urgent due to the
petroleum-based plastic accumulation. Thereby, nanocellulose arouses the interest of …

The addition of nanoclay or cellulose fibers has been presented in the literature as a
suitable alternative for reinforcing starch films. The aim of the present work was to evaluate …

Bioplastics are polymer plastics which are derived from renewable biomass resources. In
this study, bioplastic films based on two different polysaccharides such as bitter cassava …

In general, starch-based biopolymer has low mechanical properties. Hence, various
methods have been applied to enhance its properties as well as the incorporation of fibrous …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a dual modification (acid hydrolysis
and succination) on the structural, mechanical, thermomechanical, and permeability …

Novel bionanocomposite films with improved thermal and mechanical properties, were
prepared by casting water-based suspensions of pullulan and nanofibrillated cellulose. The …

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