Article Synopsis
- Lignocellulosic agricultural waste, like sugarcane bagasse, offers a renewable source for creating sustainable biomass-based plastics without discarding any of its components.
- Traditional challenges in using these materials stem from poor compatibility and weak mechanical properties due to variations in polysaccharides and lignin derivatives.
- This research demonstrates a method to convert sugarcane bagasse into high-quality thermoplastics by carefully controlling the introduction of acyl groups through ionic liquids, resulting in improved mechanical properties with significant tensile strength and ductility.
