Preparation and characterization of cassava bagasse reinforced thermoplastic cassava starch
A starch-based composite film was prepared by using fibrous residual of starch extraction (cassava bagasse) as filler. Composite films were prepared through casting technique using fructose as a plasticizer and various sizes and concentrations of bagasse. The physical, thermal, tensile and structura...

A starch-based composite film was prepared by using fibrous residual of starch extraction (cassava bagasse) as filler. Composite films were prepared through casting technique using fructose as a plasticizer and various sizes and concentrations of bagasse. The physical, thermal, tensile and structural properties of the composite film were investigated. Also, temperature variation of dynamic-mechanical parameters of cassava starch/bagasse composites was investigated by Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) test. The size and concentration of bagasse were significantly influenced the physical properties of cassava bagasse. There were also increases- in thickness, water solubility, and water absorption of cassava bagasse. There were reduction of water content and density of the film. However, there was no significant effect of adding bagasse on thermal properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies indicated increase in crystallinity of the composites with increase in fiber content.
