Biopolymers are biodegradable and renewable and can significantly reduce environmental
impacts. For this reason, biocomposites based on a plasticized starch and cross-linker …

Biocomposites sheets were prepared by compression molding from mixtures of corn starch
plasticized by glycerol as matrix and cellulose fibers, extracted from used office paper, as …

In this study thermoplastic starch (TPS) matrix‐based microfibrillated cellulose (MFC)
reinforced microcomposites were prepared via extrusion compounding in one‐step. Starch …

The present paper describes the preparation and characterization of polysaccharides-based
bio-composite films obtained by the incorporation of 10, 20 and 30wt% birch cellulose (BC) …

Thermoplastic starch films were prepared by a casting technique. Microfibrillated fibers from
husks of corncobs were added as reinforcing agents and glyceryl monostearate (GMS) as …

Starch-based biocomposites reinforced with jute (micro-sized fiber) and bacterial cellulose
(BC)(nano-sized fiber) were prepared by film casting. Reinforcement in the composites is …

Starch/Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) based biocomposite films reinforced with micro crystalline
cellulose (MCC)(10 wt%) particles were prepared by solution casting method, incorporating …

The purpose of this work was to prepare new biodegradable starch-cellulose composites,
with starch, using casein and gelatin as natural nutrients. The physico-chemical properties of …

Starch is one of the most promising renewable biopolymers due to its versatility, low cost
and applicability to the development of new biomaterials. Cellulose is the most abundant …

Fatty acid starch esters are potential candidates for obtaining hydrophobic starch-based
materials. The objective was to evaluate thermoplastic bio-composites with stearic acid …
