Overview

Preliminary study evaluates mechanical properties of bio-composite using recycled fibers and starch, suggesting efficient formulations.

Key Points

  • The optimal paper cup powder-starch ratio is 60:40, balancing mechanical properties and processing characteristics.
  • Incorporating up to 5% micro-fibrillated cellulose (MFC) improves mechanical properties significantly.
  • Exceeding 5% MFC prolongs dewatering time, affecting process efficiency and handsheet preparation.
  • The findings indicate potential for recycling used paper cups into effective bio-composite materials.
