Abstract
This thesis presents the properties of biocomposite starch made from rice husk cellulose
nanocrystals and cassava starch. In the present research, starch biocomposites and
nanocomposites were developed using untreated rice husk, cellulose, and cellulose
nanocrystals (CNCs). The aim of this thesis is to figure out the outcome of measurements
rice husk fibre and loading on the final output of biocomposite starch, to investigate the
effects of multisize fiber from the water uptake practice on starch biocomposites, to
evaluate the mechanical efficiency of films with respect to their tensile strength, and to
analyse the morphology area of rice husk fibers. The solution-casting method was applied
to process a biodegradable composite and nanocomposite made from cassava starch and
rice husk fibre. By chemical treatment cellulose was extracted from the rice husk, also
acid hydrolysis was used to separate cellulose nanocrystals. The crystalline structures,
microstructures, thermal, mechanical, and water uptake behavior of the biocomposites
and nanocomposites were described. This can be inferred from the findings that cellulose
nanocrystal is extremely adaptable among starch and also may improve the starch process
in order to manufacture green nanocomposite films for the benefits of shopping bags and
food packaging films.
