“…For instance, fibers with the high cellulose content and low hemicellulose content conveyed high tensile strength 89 . Likewise, fibers with high lignin content enclosed with low biodegradability due to the fact that microbial enzymes are resistant to lignin's highly complex nature 90 . However, moisture absorption trend is higher in fibers those possess high lignin content that may reduce the life cycle of fiber/fiber‐based material further 91 .…”

Novel natural plant fibers with significant features are to be explored at the moment due to their renewability, degradability, wide range acceptability, economic feasibility, and ecological standards over existing synthetic ones. Since the identification of potential plant fibers are getting much attention of scientists/researchers for the development of promising fiber reinforced composites. In the light of this, the present study identified a novel plant fiber from the peduncle of Furcraea selloa K. Koch and studied its anatomical, morphological, physico-chemical, thermal, mechanical and surface properties in order to explore its utility as a composite reinforcement. Anatomical study was satisfactory for identifying the presence and position of the fiber in the plant material. Good crystallinity (49.27%), high cellulose content (71.13%) and relatively low density (1127 kg/m 3 ) were found as the feasible features after physicochemical analysis. Indeed, desirable thermal stability (370 C) and tensile property (649.21 ± 16.52 MPa) of Furcraea selloa K. Koch peduncle fiber (FSPF) revealed its ability for high temperature required processing and applications. The morphological studies ensure good surface roughness and reduced microfibrillar angle (7.83 ± 0.23 ), which are recommended features for good fibermatrix addition. These promising properties are sufficient to deliberate FSPF as a new potential composite reinforcement, with good specific properties and high environmental impact.

In the current work, the influence of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) filler loadings on the physical, mechanical, thermal, and morphological properties of pine fiber (PF) reinforced polyester composites were analyzed. The fillers loaded PF/polyester composites were fabricated using casting technique. The results revealed that the volume percentage voids in the filler-loaded composites was less as compared to neat PF/polyester composites due to filler occupancy in the air gaps of fabricated composites. The tensile strength increment in neat PF reinforced composites (10-30 vol%) was prompted by the polyester's ability to wet PF per-

“…The high-intensity TPCS90 melting peak can be related to a high retrogradation rate due to the high growth rate of the crystal structure. However, the broader peak observed could be due to the high number of imperfect and non-uniform crystals [23,37]. The higher Tm and sharper melting enthalpy of the TPCS/5NC90 and TPCS/5BT90 compared to the TPCS90 indicate that a more uniform and stable crystalline structure can be induced by adding NC or BT.…”

“…It has the vast potential to develop into packaging material. Many research papers studied the effect of hybrid filler on the TPS films but mainly focused on the mechanical strength, structure, and humidity properties [1,23,24]. There is still a lack of studies and reports on the relationship between hybrid fillers on the retrogradation rate of TPS films due to time-consuming data collection.…”

Recently, hybrid fillers have been widely used to improve the properties of biopolymers. The synergistic effects of the hybrid fillers can have a positive impact on biopolymers, including thermoplastic corn starch film (TPCS). In this communication, we highlight the effectiveness of hybrid fillers in inhibiting the aging process of TPCS. The TPCS, thermoplastic corn starch composite films (TPCS-C), and hybrid thermoplastic corn starch composite film (TPCS-HC) were stored for 3 months to study the effect of hybrid filler on the starch retrogradation. TPCS-C and TPCS-HC were prepared by casting method with 5 wt% of fillers: nanocellulose (NC) and bentonite (BT). The alteration of the mechanical properties, aging behavior, and crystalline structure of the films were analyzed through the tensile test, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and water absorption analysis. The obtained data were correlated to each other to analyze the retrogradation of the TPCS, which is the main factor that contributes to the aging process of the biopolymer. Results signify that incorporating the hybrid filler (NC + BT) in the TPCS/4BT1NC films has effectively prevented retrogradation of the starch molecules after being stored for 3 months. On the contrary, the virgin TPCS film showed the highest degree of retrogradation resulting in a significant decrement in the film’s flexibility. These findings proved the capability of the green hybrid filler in inhibiting the aging of the TPCS.
