Abstract
A method for producing a biopolymeric material includes milling a non-edible vegetable fiber into a fiber grain; mixing the fiber grain with a solvent to form a slurry; purifying the fiber grain of the slurry to form a purified fiber; esterifying the purified fiber to form an esterified fiber; drying the esterified fiber to form a modified fiber; and mixing the modified fiber with a plastic material to form the biopolymeric material.
Claims19
A biopolymeric material, comprising:
- a plastic material;
- and
- a modified fiber obtained by a method including:
- milling a non-edible vegetable fiber into a fiber grain;
