Key Points

To explore the use of chia seed flour in creating thermoplastic biocomposites through direct processing and plasticizers.
Direct thermoplastic processing of chia seed flour by-products
Experimentation with various combinations of plasticizers
Assessment of mechanical performance and water uptake stability.
Water/glycerol plasticizer combination improved mechanical performance
Achieved stability in water uptake for the biocomposites
Demonstrated feasibility for industrial production through injection molding.

Abstract

• Direct thermoplastic processing of chia flour by-products without isolation steps. • Plasticizer’s combinations effectively modulate chia flour thermoplastic properties. • Water/glycerol balanced mechanical performance and water uptake stability. • Injection molding enable industrial chia flour thermoplastic production.
