Production of Bioplastic Composite and Wood Bioplastic Composite with Starch from Different Biomasses

The aim of this study is to produce eco-friendly alternative bioplastic and wood biocomposite packaging materials based on starch, derived from different biomasses, in order to minimize the damage caused by petroleum derivative packages to human health and the environment. For this purpose, solubility in water (%), water absorption (%), density according to ASTM D 792 (g/cm3) and surface roughness values according to ISO 4287 standard were determined. According to the results obtained; the highest and lowest water solubility values are sample D with 100 % and sample F with 8.01 %, respectively. The highest and lowest water absorption (%) capacity with value of % 242 as sample B and as 108 % with the sample E were measured respectively. The most uniform surface was obtained by the values Ra, Rz and Rmax, as 3.53, 18.8 and 25.1 μm for sample A while the highest surface roughness with respectively as 10.4, 43.8 and 55.0 μm values for sample D was determined
