The influence of amadumbe starch nanocrystals (SNCs) at varying concentrations (2.5, 5
and 10%) on the physicochemical properties of biocomposite films prepared using two …

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 …

Edible and bionanocomposite films were developed by extrusion followed by thermo
molding. Corn starch (Zea mays), glycerol, and several nano-clays were used as the …

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 goal of this work was to compare the barrier, mechanical, and thermal properties of two
types of starch–polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanocomposites. Sodium montmorillonite (MMT) …

Rice hull is a residue from agro-industry that can be used to produce nanocellulose. We
produced nanocellulose from rice hulls through bleaching (with a 5% NaOH solution …

Thermal stability and degradation kinetics were studied for glycerol plasticized starch (GPS)
nanocomposites reinforced with cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) extracted from wheat straw, a …

The excessive use of disposable plastic material in our society demands packaging material
which can undergo quick degradation without harming the environment. Agricultural …

Waxy maize starch was hydrolyzed with sulfuric acid in aqueous solution. The remaining
starch granules after acid hydrolysis were characterized by TEM and wide‐angle XRD …

In order to produce bio‐nanocomposites for potential food packaging applications,
nanocellulose (NC) was extracted from carrot pulp and different weight fractions of NC (5, 7 …
