Development and Characterization of Plantain (<i>Musa paradisiaca</i>) Flour-Based Biopolymer Films Reinforced with Plantain Fibers

Agroindustrial wastes are a cheap and abundant source of natural fibers and macromolecules that can be used in the manufacturing of biocomposites. This study presents the development and thermo-mechanical characterization of a bio-composite film (TPF/PF), made of thermoplastic banana flour (TPF) mat...
