This review discusses the effect of nanocellulose or lignocellulosic fibers introduced in starch films. A concise comparison in the mechanical and water absorption properties of the nanocellulose-reinforced starch originated from different plant species was made. It was found that most of these studies prefer solution casting as popular fabrication technique. Studies found nanocellulose generates positive results on mechanical and water uptake properties. The increment in tensile strength was reported between 1.08 to slightly higher than 2-fold while water uptake was decreased between 1.14 to 1.19-fold. In addition, the fibers also serves well as a reinforcement material for starch matric although not as competent as nanocellulose. Discussion on improvement in mechanical, water uptake, thermal, and biodegradation of lignocellulosic fiber-reinforced starch was presented in this chapter. This review also emphasizes potential uses of nanocellulose reinforced starch composite as a smart food packaging and bio-carrier in bio-delivery system where it contributes considerably to a better life. |
