Abstract

Bamboo shoot processing by-products (BPSs) hve been regarded as an agricultural waste. How to utilize cellulose from BPSs at value-added utilization has attracted environmental and industrial interest. Crude cellulose was isolated from BPSs and then converted into microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). MCC from BPSs was modified by using soybean oil. A new peak emerged at 1745 cm−1 of the modified MCC was attributed to the C = O stretching from esters in the Fourier transform infrared spectra. The results of X-ray diffraction showed that the crystalline structure of MCC was not destroyed during the modification. The esterified microcrystalline cellulose (E-MCC) displayed a higher thermal stability. The effects of MCC and E-MCC on the structural, mechanical, and barrier properties of thermoplastic starch (TPS) were studied. The results showed that E-MCC was dispersed better in the composite films than MCC. TPS was incorporated with 5wt% E-MCC had tensile strength of 5.21 MPa, Young’s modulus equally of 38.87 MPa, and elongation at break of 33.72%. Moreover, the TPS/E-MCC films exhibited better water vapor barrier properties. This study proves that MCC obtained from BPSs can be used as composites filler, and the modified MCC displayed a higher affinity for thermoplastic starch.
