Abstract
Regenerated cellulose (RC)/paddy straw (PS) biocomposite films was prepared by addition of PS powder in partially dissolving microcrystalline cellulose into an 8% lithium chloride/N,N-dimethylacetamide (LiCl/DMAc) solution. The effect of paddy straw on tensile properties and crystallinity index (CrI) of RC/PS biocomposite films were studied. The results obtained revealed that the tensile strength and modulus of elasticity of RC/PS biocomposite films compared with pure regenerated cellulose was significantly improved at 5 wt% PS loading but decrease with the increment of PS. The increase in crystallinity index at 5 wt% proved the enhancement affected by the incorporation of PS.
