Abstract

The aim of present work was to use jute fibrous waste from textile industries for the preparation of cellulose nanoparticles/nanofibrils suitable as reinforcement of biodegradable composites for applications in food packaging, agriculture mulch films, automotive plastics, etc. In the present study, waste jute fibers were wet pulverized to the scale of nanofibrils of 50 nm diameter using high energy planetary ball milling for 3 h. Subsequently, 3 wt% of jute fibers of millimeter, micrometer and nanometer scales were incorporated into poly lactic acid (PLA) matrix to prepare composite films by solvent casting. The reinforcement potentials of fibers at different sizes from millimeter to nanometer were investigated from the improvements in elastic modulus of composite films based on nanoindentation measurements. The increase in elastic modulus was observed to be 65.21, 25.40 and 13.04 % for composite films of nanofibrils, microfibrils and milifibers, respectively compared to neat PLA film. These improvements were attributed to the increased interaction between fibers and matrix as well as to the increased crystallinity of PLA in composites.
