Influence of natural fillers on the properties of starch-based biocomposite films

Effect of plasticizer type and concentration on physical properties of biodegradable films based on sugar palm (arenga pinnata) starch for food packaging

“…In other words, the addition of glycerol to starch dispersion solution disrupted their double helix conformations by the establishment of stable single chain Vconformations helices. This phenomenon led to the formation of glycerol-amylose complexes (Bodirlau et al 2013;Gutiérrez et al 2015;Lopez et al 2014). Furthermore, it can be seen that the intensity of diffraction peaks increased as glycerol concentration increased from 0 to 45 % for G-and GS-plasticized films.…”

Evaluation of PLA–lignin bioplastics properties before and after accelerated weathering

“…Depending on the source and extraction method used, the physico-chemical characteristics are different and influence the properties of materials in which are embedded. The effective use of lignin in composites with various biopolymers like PHB [12,13], starch [14], cellulose [15], chitosan [16] has been also reported in literature. Sahoo increasing polymeric dimethylene diphenyl diisocyanate (PMDI) compatibilizer content from 1% to 2%, due to a possible plasticization of the composite materials.…”

Starch-based Films Plasticized with Glycerol and Lignin from Piassava Fiber Reinforced with Nanocrystals from Eucalyptus

“…It is concluded that lignin have great potential to be explored for food packaging purposes. Moreover, this packaging film will be more economical and environmental friendly [1][2][3][4][5][6].…”

“…The hydrophilic property of these polymers is responsible for their incompatibility with most hydrophobic polymers. The interaction between polymers and starch can play a critical role in obtaining composite materials with good final properties [2,3].…”
