Effect of cellulose nanofibers and plantain peel fibers on mechanical, thermal, physicochemical properties in bio-based composites storage time by Juan Pablo Castañeda-Niño, José Herminsul Mina-Hernández, José Fernando Solanilla-Duque

“…As expected, the reinforcing influence of plantain peel lignocellulosic fibers in the matrix was evidenced during the storage time of 90 days, with better mechanical performance in tensile strenght (5.65 to 1.19 MPa), lower plasticizer migration capacity as indicated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), water bsorption (14.2 %) and angle contact (between 48.8 to 58.9 °), presenting greater stability in the crystalline structure than the pure TPS by maintaining the relative crystallinity between 7.7 to 10.44 % and lower thermal stability to 307.4 °C related to the presence of hemicellulose in the peel fibre reinforcement.…”
