“…Some researchers have used SB in different proportions to reinforce starch‐based foams . In general, the use of lower concentrations of SB fibers (less than 20%) gives more flexible and more mechanically resistant foams . Asparagus ( Asparagus officinalis L.) is a high‐valued perennial vegetable that is widely cultivated in Peru.…”

The agro‐industrial wastes, sugarcane bagasse (SB) and asparagus peel (AP), were used to enhance the properties of biodegradable foam trays based on sweet potato starch‐based foam trays (starch/SB and starch/AP trays, respectively). Starch/SB and starch/AP trays containing different concentrations of SB and AP (0%‐40%, w/w) were prepared, and their microstructure and physical, thermal, and mechanical properties were characterized. The addition of fibers wastes allowed obtaining a yellowish foam tray with lower luminosity and higher porosity, mechanical resistance, deformability, and better ability to absorb water as compared with the sweet potato starch foam trays without fibers. The addition of SB yielded foam trays less porous, with lower water absorption capacity and greater tensile strength than the addition of AP. Higher concentrations of AP fibers (greater than 30%) generate more extendible foam trays. The addition of fibrous wastes improved the thermal stability of the sweet potato starch foam trays. The composite foam trays produced in this work could be used as substitutes for expanded polystyrene in dry food packaging.

Effects of different silane coupling agents on clay surface modification were studied. Herein, functionalized superfine kaolin was compounded with starch-chitosan (SCS) to prepare starch-chitosan-functionalized superfine kaolin composite. The characterization results showed that kaolin (K) was successfully modified; the composite formed a dense intercalated structure. The glass-transition temperature (T g ) was measured by differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical analysis. It decreased by 60 C which attested the crystallinity of SCS. The results of thermogravimetric analysis showed that the fastest weight-loss temperature (T max ) was elevated by over 50 C for composites. Mechanical properties of the composites were explored by electronic universal testing machine. Tensile strength and elongation of composites were improved by 4.7 and 10.9 times.

“…Glycosidic chains released in the gel system serve as substrate sites for conjugation with other natural or synthetic polymeric molecules added to the gel. High abundance, versatile functionality, and conjugation efficiency with other materials have made starches from different botanical origins a popular biomaterial for composite development and research . Rice ( Oryza sativa ) is one of the major sources of starch.…”

Sericin and starch are waste materials of the silk and rice milling industries, respectively. Owing to their suitable physicochemical, mechanical and functional properties, the two materials are thermo‐mechanically conjugated and cast as films. Sericin forms a microfibrillar network structure which binds with gelatinized starch. Addition of crosslinkers, namely glycerol and polyethylene glycol results in smoother textured films, higher crystallinity, and thermal resistance as studied using XRD, FTIR, DSC, and TGA. Native crystalline patterns of both starch and sericin are lost during composite formation. Newer crystalline lamellae formation with enhanced crystallinity than the native materials is evident from XRD and DSC. Comparative analysis indicated polyethylene glycol to be a better cross linker than glycerol for the composite formation. Biocompatibility studies using L929 mice fibroblast cell lines demonstrated that the films supported normal growth and proliferation of cells without any toxic effect. This is well supported by fluorescence imaging and MTT assays. Enzymatic biodegradability using protease enzymes implied negligible weight loss of the films, strengthening their prospect to be manifested in cell culturing applications.
