Nanocellulose-Reinforced Thermoplastic Starch Composites: Sustainable Materials for Packaging

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