Thermoplastic sugar palm starch reinforced graphene nanoplatelets for sustainable biocomposite films [PDF]
Graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) were incorporated into thermoplastic starch (TPS) films, and effects on water absorption and mechanical properties were investigated. GNP inclusion formed a barrier that significantly reduced water absorption, resulting in denser TPS/GNP films.
