Cellulose nanofibril reinforced functional chitosan biocomposite films

Polymer Testing, 2023
Recently, chitosan has become attractive due to being biodegradable, biocompatible and renewable. However, the weak mechanical properties of chitosan films limit their large-scale application. In this work, a strategy of blending TEMPO, oxidized CNF (TOCN) and chitosan was developed to fabricate nanocomposite films in order to improve the mechanical ...

Biodegradable 3D‐Printable and Coatable Antifouling Composites for Marine Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Marine biofouling damages submerged surfaces and raises greenhouse gas emissions. Biodegradable antifouling biocomposites were developed by hot‐mixing beeswax, Tween 80, and calcium stearate or stearic acid. Adjusting the component ratio enables processing via hot‐pressing, 3D‐printing, or dip‐coating.

Characterisation of Biocomposite Film with Napier based Nanocrystalline Cellulose

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2021
Abstract Nowadays, biocomposite polymers are widely used in daily life based on their ability which is compossible, recyclable and sustainable. This paper presents biocomposite film’s characterisation with different concentrations of nanocrystalline cellulose(NCC) (0 wt.%, 0.5 wt.%, 1.0 wt.% and 1.5 wt.%). Several techniques were used to

Wood‐Derived Nanocellulose‐Biocarbon Fresnel‐Zone Plate Lenses for Sub‐THz Frequency Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Wood‐derived nanocellulose and lignin‐based biocarbon were combined to fabricate fully bio‐based Fresnel zone plate (FZP) lenses for sub‐terahertz frequencies. These sustainable FZP lenses exhibit low dielectric loss and high directivity, achieving performance comparable to that of metallic references, and remain functional under environmental stress ...

Review on the characterization of starch biocomposite films in packaging application

Food Research, 2022
As an alternative to advocating biodegradable packaging to reduce plastic wastes, starchbased materials are proposed to be used as an element to be integrated into the packaging due to their abundance in nature. Starch-based materials can be converted into any desired shape and size, therefore, making it the perfect basis for eco-friendly packaging ...
