Abstract

Biomass-based plastics containing the biomass content higher than 25 wt% have been considered as environment- friendly materials due to their effects on the reduction in the CO2 emission and petroleum consumption as well as biode- gradability after use. This article described the effect of the additions of oxo-biodegradable additive, 4 kinds of plant biomass, unsaturated fatty acid, citric acid in the properties of polyethylene films. Bio films were prepared using a variety of biomasses and tested for feasibility as a food packaging film. Mechanical properties such as tensile strength and percent elongation at break were evaluated. Husk biomasses from such as corn, soybean, rice, and wheat were pulverized using air classifying mill (ACM)
