“…A high-density material is associated with a high molecular weight. Amylose has a molecular weight around 80000–1000000 g/mol, which is 10 times higher than conventional synthetic polymers, such as PE, PP and PS, while amylopectin has a molecular weight much greater than amylose [ 47 ]. In this case, starch is well known for its brittleness, which can be assumed to be the reason for the mechanical properties’ deterioration in the PLA/TPS blend bionanocomposites.…”

In this paper, sugar palm nanocellulose fibre-reinforced thermoplastic starch (TPS)/poly (lactic acid) (PLA) blend bionanocomposites were prepared using melt blending and compression moulding with different TPS concentrations (20%, 30%, 40%, 60%, and 80%) and constant sugar palm nanocellulose fibres (0.5%). The physical, mechanical, thermal, and water barrier properties were investigated. The SEM images indicated different TPS loading effects with the morphology of the blend bionanocomposites due to their immiscibility. A high content of TPS led to agglomeration, while a lower content resulted in the presence of cracks and voids. The 20% TPS loading reduced the tensile strength from 49.08 to 19.45 MPa and flexural strength from 79.60 to 35.38 MPa. The thermal stability of the blend bionanocomposites was reduced as the TPS loading increased. The thickness swelling, which corresponded to the water absorption, demonstrated an increasing trend with the increased addition of TPS loading.

“…The starch based bioplastic with addition of microcrystalline cellulose as filler is potentially to be use as food packaging with improvement of thermal properties and has better mechanical also barrier properties (water and oxygen content decreases when the microcrystalline cellulose increases) [27]. As reported by Tianyu et al, [28], addition of cellulose or cellulose macro/nano crystals or cellulose nano fibrils into starch based bioplastic will produce film with higher thermal stability, better processability and great mechanical properties. It safe for food packaging and also as edible films because all the materials are from food sources.…”

Current conventional plastic is favored due to its affordable price and desirable properties however the major drawback is its non biodegradable properties which lead to environmental pollution. Taking into consideration the issues of non renewable resources, there is where bioplastic were introduce. According to European bioplastic, bioplastic is defined as material produced from biobased, biodegradable or both properties. Bioplastic is coming from renewable resources which can be used to reduce the plastic waste problem. Recently, the existence of bioplastic became one of the promising technologies in various industries especially in packaging industry. This review paper is highlight include the bioplastic packaging application (food and beverages, healthcare, cosmetic and personal care and consumer packaged goods) in industry for 4 types of bioplastic (PLA, PCL, Starch based and PHAs).

“…It has been widely utilized in the field of biomedicine due to these properties. It also recognizes applications in various industrial technologies, including cosmetics [ 84 ]. Ortega-Toro et al (2016) studied the better properties of glycerol by mixing polycaprolactone and/or polyethylene glycol plasticized starch films in a low-level ratio.…”

Corn (Zea mays L.) is one of the major food crops, and it is considered to be a very distinctive plant, since it is able to produce a large amount of the natural polymer of starch through its capacity to utilize large amounts of sunlight. Corn starch is used in a wide range of products and applications. In recent years, the use of nanotechnology for applications in the food industry has become more apparent; it has been used for protecting against biological and chemical deterioration, increasing bioavailability, and enhancing physical properties, among other functions. However, the high cost of nanotechnology can make it difficult for its application on a commercial scale. As a biodegradable natural polymer, corn starch is a great alternative for the production of nanomaterials. Therefore, the search for alternative materials to be used in nanotechnology has been studied. This review has discussed in detail the properties, simulations, and wide range of applications of corn starch-based nanomaterials.
