【 摘 要 】

In this study, we performed the production of bioplastic from corn starch by condensation polymerization. We used a natural intensifier such as glycerin to make the corn starch into a bioplastic material. Bioplastic and its nanocomposites via carbon fiber microelectrode (CFME), TiO2 and nanoclay were synthesized to study its application in package industry. FTIRATR, TGA-DTA, SEM-EDX and mechanical analysis were taken to characterize the bioplastic based nanocomposites. We used different amounts of addition of CFME (0.2%, 0.5% and 1%), TiO2 (1%, 3% and 5%) and nanoclay (1%, 3% and 5%) to obtain the optimum condition for the bioplastic material. We obtained proper results for bioplastic/CFME nanocomposite addition of 1%, bioplastic / TiO2 and bioplastic / nanoclay nanocomposites addition of 5% in the composite material. Based on the literature that can be used in packaging industry without harming the environment, this is our main objective.
