Starch-based bionanocomposites

Abstract The most recent decade has seen the advance of green materials, with the aim of decreasing the effect of humans on the environment. Natural polymers are a noticeable subclass of this stream and several biosourced plastics (bioplastics) have been industrialized. Using starch as a green polymer has received much attention because starch is an abundant, biodegradable, normally sustainable, and reasonable polysaccharide found in the stalks, roots, and seeds of staple yields, for example, corn, rice, wheat, and potato. Substance adjustment of nanosized starch particles achieves the sorts of polymers that can be utilized as lattices. A standout amongst the most encouraging specialized advances has been the improvement of bionanocomposites, to be specific the dispersion of nanosized filler into a starch biopolymer matrix. This chapter talks about the processing and application of starch-based bionanocomposites.
