Cellulose nanofibers/polylactic acid based biocomposites for packaging applications (original) (raw)

2021

Abstract

Lower barrier capability, renewable sources and inquiry on the mechanical strength of packaging material used will limit the market place for desired choices of packaging. Biocomposites have been called to enhance the packaging characteristics however the renewable sources of polymers have been questioned among industries worldwide. Up to authors' knowledge, most published reports have not covered all information regarding the issue in packaging and their information on detailed view in packaging material as well as its applications still scarce. This chapter reviews different perspective of packaging, especially on biocomposite production such as advantages, drawbacks, safety concern, and technological advancement. It also focuses on the topic of cellulose nanofibers (CNF) and polylactic acid (PLA). The issue and future trend of versatile CNF and PLA biocomposites are also addressed in this chapter. The report highlighted in this chapter is of benefit to manufacturers and resea...
