Background Expanded polystyrene (EPS), an inexpensive and widely available polymer,
has been extensively employed in foam packaging. However, EPS-based foams cause …

With the coming of the green chemistry era, the tunable porosity and superb environmental
friendliness accompanied by outstanding electrical conductivity of cellulose-derived carbon …

The poor performance and high cost of the starch-sisal fibre composites with open-cell
structures prevent their usage as biodegradable biomass to replace plastics. Therefore …

Starch and its derivatives have recently emerged as a sustainable and renewable
alternative for petroleum-based expanded polystyrene (EPS) and expanded polypropylene …

Bio-based materials offer tremendous contributions by replacing conventional fossil-based
products for a more sustainable society. The aim of the current study was to study the effect …

This work aims to improve the physicochemical properties of polylactic acid (PLA) and
thermoplastic yam starch (TPS) blends using epoxidised sesame oil (ESO). We used …

Biofoam products have attracted considerable attention lately because there is a growing
demand for green/sustainable products. To this end, various biobased foams have either …

In the last decade, among the emerging technologies in the area of bioplastics, additive
manufacturing (AM), commonly referred to as 3D printing, stands out. This technology has …

In this study, a novel bio-based composite of starch/plant fiber foaming tableware material
was prepared by the hot-pressing foaming method. The influence of the content of …

In this work, the effect of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs)
on the biodegradation, under composting conditions, of hierarchical PLA biocomposites …
