Abstract
⺠Biodegradable trays produced by a baking process from starch, sugarcane fibers and nanoclays. ⺠Good nanoclays dispersion resulting in an exfoliated structure. ⺠Fiber and nanoclays addition: trays with lower density and stress at break and higher strain at break. ⺠Trays with higher water absorption capacities. ⺠Further development to improve the expansion, water sorption capacity and processing times.
