Unexpected and attractive properties can be observed when decreasing the size of a
material down to the nanoscale. Cellulose is no exception to the rule. In addition, the highly …

Starch is a biodegradable biopolymer, a sustainable material that can replace conventional
petrochemical-based plastics. However, starch has some limitations, as it must be …

Nanocomposite polymeric films were prepared using the solvent casting method by
incorporation cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), and chitosan nanoparticle (CNP) reinforced …

Cellulose was extracted from mango fibers and subjected to acid hydrolysis to obtain a
nanofiber. Two morphological structures based on the polylactic acid (PLA)/nanocellulose …

Mango kernels are used for the first time as a source of both starch and starch nanocrystals
(SNC) for bionanocomposite films. The starch yield was 38.5%, whereas the SNC yield (from …

The fabrication of starch-based nanocomposites is regarded as a sustainable method of
manufacturing ecologically favourable packaging materials in addition to their better …

The aim of this work was to develop cassava starch biocomposites with varius
concentrations of grape skin (Gr) and acerola (Ac) residues (0.1, 1.0, 5.0 and 10.0 wt%) …

Mango seeds from agro‐industry represents an environmental problem due to the amounts
of by‐products produced. Conversely, poly (lactic acid)(PLA) is a potential green alternative …

The present work intended to investigate the effect of Dalbergia sissoo wood waste on
physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of poly (lactic acid)(PLA)‐based composites …

An important issue in the development of new processes is how to perform environmental
impact assessments that support decisions at an early stage of process development. In this …
