CHARACTERIZATION OF THE SONICATED YAM BEAN STARCH BIONANOCOMPOSITES REINFORCED BY NANOCELLULOSE WATER HYACINTH FIBER (WHF): THE EFFECT OF VARIOUS FIBER LOADING

Bionanocomposites based on a Yam Bean (Pachyrhizus spp.) (YB) starch matrix reinforced by nanocellulose Water Hyacinth Fiber (WHF) were produced using a casting method. The amount of nanocellulose suspension in the matrix was varied from 0 to 1 wt%. After gelation, the bionanocomposites were sonicat...
