STARCH-BASED BIONANOCOMPOSITES: PROCESSING AND PROPERTIES Polysaccharide Building Blocks: A Sustainable Approach to the Development of Renewable Biomaterials, First Edition. Edited By (original) (raw)

This paper explores the potential of starch-based bionanocomposites as sustainable materials for various applications. It discusses the processing techniques used to manufacture these composites and their mechanical properties, focusing on the incorporation of nanofillers to enhance performance. The findings suggest that modifying starch with biodegradable polymers and natural nanofillers can significantly improve the properties of thermoplastic starch, making it suitable for use in biodegradable plastics and other non-food industries.
