The non-wood plants became an alternative solution or source of fibrous material in this
millennium due to increasing population and industrialization along with better education. In …

Non‐biodegradable materials have caused serious environmental problems due to their
inappropriate discard. Biodegradable and renewable polymers (eg, polysaccharides), when …

In the last few decades, the usages of plant sources-based stiff fillers as reinforcement
material in polymer composites have attracted significant interests of researchers. The …

The commercial cellulose fibers and cellulose fibers extracted from rice and oat husks were
analyzed by chemical composition, morphology, functional groups, crystallinity and thermal …

A biodegradable composite and nanocomposite made from cassava starch and rice husk
fiber were prepared using the solution-casting method. Cellulose was extracted from the rice …

Mango seeds have been used to obtain components for nanocomposite films, namely,
starch and starch nanocrystals (SNC) from seed kernels, and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) …

Arrowroot starch (AA)-based films incorporated with a carnauba wax nanoemulsion (CWN),
cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), and essential oils (EOs) from Mentha spicata (MEO) and …

The nanosize cellulose has emerged in the last two decades as an efficient strategy to
improve the structural and functional properties of polymer composite. This review focuses to …

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) …

Starch and cellulose fibers were isolated from grains and the husk from barley, respectively.
Biodegradable films of native starch or oxidized starches and glycerol with different …
