Abstract
Abstract Interest in nanocellulose has lately increased as a result of its benefits, such as renewable, biodegradable, high mechanical strength and valuable economically. In this regard, nanocellulose has been frequently employed as reinforcement for the enhancement of mechanical, thermal and biodegradation qualities of nanocomposite materials, such as thermoplastic starch. An overview of the use of pea starch that has been reinforced with nanocellulose for packaging and storage applications is given in this chapter. In comparison to standard sources of starch like maize, wheat and potatoes, it is consequently seen as a comparatively affordable source of starch. These composite polysaccharides (pea thermoplastic starch/nanocellulose) have the potential to replace traditional packaging composed of polymers derived from petroleum.
