Production of biodegradable starch nanocomposites using cellulose nanocrystals extracted from coconut fibers

Abstract Different polymeric matrices have been investigated for use in the development of biodegradable films. The incorporation of cellulose nanocrystals in such films has particularly attracted attention because of the potential for achieving improved properties of starch nanocomposites. In the p...
