Nanocellulose-Reinforced Thermoplastic Starch Composites

Starch biopolymer reinforced with nanocellulose has the potential to replace conventional petroleum-based packaging. The book covers new materials for food packagingapplications and the opportunities and challenges of bionanocomposites. It discussesenvironmental aspects of biobased packaging, socio-economic impact, life cycle costanalysis, market and consumers perceptions and preferences. Covers development and characterization of various starch biopolymer reinforcedwith nanocellulose. Includes chapters from leading industrial and academic experts who presentcutting-edge research. Includes case studies on biobased packaging.
