Cellulose Nanofibrils from Sugarcane Bagasse as a Reinforcing Element in Polyvinyl Alcohol Composite Films for Food Packaging

Due to a high aspect ratio and enhanced mechanical strength, cellulose nanofibrils can be used as reinforcing elements in biocomposite films. In this study, cellulose nanofibrils were isolated from sugarcane bagasse using TEMPO-mediated oxidation and used to reinforce polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films....
