Mechanical, Thermal and Biodegradation Properties of Maleic Anhydride-Coupled Nanocrystalline Cellulose/Zein Bioplastics Derived from Agricultural Biomass
Nanocrystalline cellulose/zein (NCC/zein) bioplastic films coupled with maleic anhydride (MAH) were prepared from sugar-palm solid waste and corn waste to valorize agricultural biomass into biodegradable film materials. NCC was isolated from sugar-palm solid waste, whereas zein was extracted from corn waste with aqueou...
