    Evaluation of the Effect of Cellulose Nanofibers in Thermoplastic Starch Films

    Thermoplastic starches (TPS) are important bio-based, biodegradable polymers used in flexible packaging. However, their mechanical properties, processability, and high hydrophilicity limit their applications. This study examines the effects of chemical modifications and mechanical reinforcements on TPS matrices. Combinations of native and acetylated TPS, reinforced with native (CNF) and acetyla...
