The object of this study was to investigate the physicochemical interactions between starch
and cellulose ethers when they were blended to obtain biodegradable films. Fourier …

Plastic-based food packaging is generating a serious environmental problem by
accumulating large amounts of plastic in the surroundings. Ecological and health concerns …

Abstract Background and Objective: Starch-based biopolymer films have disadvantages
such as poor mechanical and barrier properties against water vapour that restrict their …

The current study deals with the preparation and characterization of polysaccharide-based
biocomposite films acquired by the incorporation of cellulose nanofiber within glycerol …

Background Cassava starch, the economically important agricultural commodity in Thailand,
can readily be cast into films. However, the cassava starch film is brittle and weak, leading to …

This study investigated the effectiveness of cellulose nanocrystals derived from cassava
residues as a reinforcement to starch films. Thermoplastic starch films are biodegradable to …

The application of starch films, such as food packaging materials, has been restricted due to
poor mechanical and barrier properties. However, the addition of a reinforcing agent …

Starch is the most important widely spread polysaccharide used for the synthesis of
biopolymer film. Renewable source, abundance, cost effectiveness and excellent film …

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 …
