Abstract

A series of environmentally friendly plasticized starch biocomposites were prepared
using two types of plasticizers; conventional glycerol and choline chloride/urea
(ChCl/Urea). The biocomposites were mixed with rice straw fibers to increase the
mechanical properties of the biocomposites. Nevertheless, the use of reinforced
fibers may interfere with moisture absorption causing the biocomposites to lose its
strength. Thus the main focus of this study is to investigate the effect of fiber on
moisture absorption mechanism of the biocomposites by varying its loading as well
as dimension.
