Mechanical and Permeability Properties of Thermoplastic Starch Composites Reinforced with Cellulose Nanofiber for Packaging Applications

In this study, a facile, ecofriendly nanocomposite based on glycerol-plasticized thermoplastic potato starch (TPS) containing 0-4 wt.% cellulose nanofiber (CNF) from pineapple leaf was prepared by the solution casting technique. The nanocomposite films showed better mechanical properties compared to...
