Preparation and Characterization of Polyethylene Biocomposites Reinforced by Rice Husk: Application as Potential Packaging Material

Abstract: The development of biodegradable materials as food packaging material is important not only due to the reduction in environmental pollution but also because of an improvement in the functionality. Rice husk-reinforced biopolymers have offered a possible solution to waste-disposal problems associated with traditional petroleum-derived plastics. Rice husk-reinforced low density polyethylene (LDPE)-based biocomposites have been of great interest for their use as food packaging material. In this work, the LDPE/RH … Show more

“…The reasons for this phenomenon can be attributed to the anatomical structure of plant particles and the differences in chemical composition between plant particles and the polymer [39,40]. As suggested by Bajsic et al [41], plant particles as components of a polyethylene-based biocomposite affect the crystallinity of polyethylene and may act as modulating agents for crystallization nucleation. If the crystallinity of plant particles is high, they may favor processes that lead to an increase in the level of crystallinity of the biocomposites produced with them.…”
