This analysis reveals improved mechanical strength and reduced solubility in biofilms, suggesting benefits from incorporating MFC and Hibiscus extracts.
Key Points
Mechanical properties increased, with ultimate tensile strength rising to approximately 21 MPa with MFC addition.
Biofilms had enhanced antibacterial properties from Hibiscus extracts alongside decreased water vapor permeability.
Assessment of morphology included techniques like SEM, TEM, and FTIR, showcasing effective biofilm reinforcement.
Use of microfibrillated cellulose supports a circular economy through sustainable biocomposite development.
