Bacterial Cellulose- and Laponite-Reinforced Corn Starch Bioplastics for Sustainable Packaging
Growing environmental concerns associated with petroleum-based plastics have stimulated the development of renewable and biodegradable alternatives. In this study, corn-starch-based composite films were prepared with bacterial cellulose (BC), α-cellulose (α-C), or carboxylated cellulose nanofibers (CNC) in the presence...
