Abstract
Rice straw is an abundant biomass that can be used as filler in biodegradable polymers like starch. In this study, different microfillers based on rice straw including untreated rice straw, alkali pulp of rice straw, benzylated rice straw and benzylated pulp and pulping liquor were incorporated in plasticized starch with glycerol. The findings show that the benzylated products of rice straw having stronger interaction with starch are more effective fillers than untreated rice straw in starch biocomposites.
