Influence of cellulose filler extracted from napier grass on thermal characterizations, moisture content, tensile strength, biodegradation, and morphological structure of bioplastic films

This paper reports on the effects of Napier grass (NG) cellulose used as a filler on the thermal characterizations, moisture content, tensile strength, biodegradation, and morphological structure of bioplastic films. Bioplastic films were obtained from chitosan and gelatin; and from the fiber, bark,...
