Valorization of corn stover into biodegradable biocomposites: characterization, prototype design, and upcycling into bacterial nanocellulose
The presented study explored the development and end-of-life evaluation of novel biocomposite materials - termed SferiCorn (Sferi) - developed using ground corn stover (CS) in the form of short fibers and three biopolymer matrices: starch (Sferi R), alginate (Sferi S), and poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHB...
