Nanocellulose reinforced starch biocomposite films via tape-casting technique [PDF]

Polímeros
Abstract The objective of this study was to characterize the physicochemical-mechanical properties of corn and cassava starch films reinforced with CNF via Tape-Casting. There were differences in size and shape of the starch granules. Corn starch nanocomposites (NCO) showed a significant increase in tensile strength (5.14 to 25.58 MPa) and significant ...

Barrier properties of biocomposites/hybrid films [PDF]

, 2019
There are available reports on the barrier properties of composites; however, with highly focused research in this field, there is a need to reevaluate the findings and current trends. Hybrid composites are a mixture of inorganic and organic components at the nanometer or molecular level, whereas, biocomposites are formed by reinforcing natural fibers ...

Morphology and properties of neutralized chitosan-cellulose nanocrystals biocomposite films [PDF]

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2017
Chitosan/cellulose nanocrystals (CH-CN) films were obtained by casting of dispersions, and treated with NaOH for neutralization proposes. The composition of films was varied from 1 to 10wt.% of CN. Changes in the morphology of the systems were correlated with the different properties studied. FTIR revealed the presence of a weak interaction between the

Artificial leaf device for hydrogen generation from immobilised C. reinhardtii microalgae [PDF]

, 2015
We developed a fully biomimetic leaf-like device for hydrogen production which allows incorporated fabric-immobilised microalgae culture to be simultaneously hydrated with media and harvested from the produced hydrogen in a continuous flow regime without

Polylactic acid/zinc oxide biocomposite films for food packaging application

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2016
Although PLA is much more expensive than polyolefins, such as PP and PE, there is a great interest to propose PLA based material as alternative films for food packaging being PLA derivable from natural source, compostable and biodegradable. For this purpose the research has the task to investigate and propose PLA materials with enhanced properties to ...
