Polymer films of rice starch/Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) were prepared by casting method. Different blends were made varying the concentration of rice starch and PVA. Tensile strength (TS) and elongation at break (Eb) of the prepared films were studied. Films made up of rice starch and PVA with a ratio of 2:8 showed highest TS. 10% sugar was added with highest TS giving four composition of Starch/PVA blend in order to increase TS and Eb. Films made up of rice starch and PVA and sugar with a ratio of 1:8:1 showed highest TS and Eb and the recorded value was 14.96MPa and 637% respectively. The physico-mechanical properties of the prepared sugar incorporated films were improved by grafting with acrylic monomer with the aid of UV radiation. A formulation was prepared with monomer, methylmethacrylat in methanol, and a photo initiator. The highest TS of the grafted films were recorded and the value was 16.38 MPa. The water uptake and weight loss in both soil and water of the grafted films are lower than the non-grafted films. The prepared films were further characterized with stereo micrograph and XRD. Finally, the produced film can be used as biodegradable packaging materials for shopping and garbage bags that are very popular and environment friendly.

Biodegradable material is a kind of green material, which is easily reclaimed and reused, and does not pollute the environment and can decompose quickly, there is not insurant produce after trash. This study aims to looking for new material and low price to produce dishware. Food dishware we produced using different biodegradable material cooperating with Jiufa Group Company, the main material is pure plant fiber and starch, additive edible material, and degradable material. (1) The mix of the dishware material technology and the spark technology has been studied. (2) The test of biodegradable of the dishware has been studied, and the result shows this packaging material can be separated to carbon and water finally after disused by the action of animalcule, in the water and air. The energy sources and resource can more reduce for this degradable material to produce dishware, so as to green and keep environment friendly, safe to use.

Effect of Rosella (<em>Hibiscus Sabdariffa</em> Linn) Extract and Surimi Dumbo catfish (<em>Clarias gariepinus</em>) addition on Starch-Based Edible Film-Glycerol Mechanical Properties has been done. The purpose of this study is to create an active environment-friendly packaging material. Surimi additions are intended to improve the mechanical properties of bioplastics and additions of Rosella extract intended as a bio-indicator of acidity. The method used was Solvent Casting. An amount of surimi and rosella extract varied to obtain the best mechanical properties. The results shows that the addition of surimi and rosella flower extract significantly effect the elongation of Edible films produced up to 27%.

<p>Usual polymer composites are non-biodegradable and pollute the environment. Using natural fibers with polymers<br />based on renewable resources will allow many environmental issues to be solved. Therefore, world is as of now focusing<br />on alternate material sources that are environment friendly and biodegradable in nature. Owing to increasing natural<br />concerns, bio composite produced out of natural fiber and polymeric resin, is one of the late advancements in the<br />scientific business. This paper is focused on fabrication and mechanical behaviour of natural fiber-reinforced<br />biocomposite R P E B . It is shown that a property of the fibers also gives important indication regarding their 15 15 40 30<br />subsequent behaviour as reinforcement in composites.</p>

The aim of this paper is to introduce novel dressing with Mikania Micrantha for quick blood clotting and wound healing. When epidermis of human skin is cut or scrapped, sometimes too much bleeding occurs. Excessive bleeding may cause death, if bleeding is not stopped immediately. To promote blood clotting & wound healing natural based bio materials are still insufficient in medical textile sector. To fill up this scarcity, woven fabric treated with Mikania micrantha leaf juice & leaf powder was examined. M. micrantha exhibits good blood clotting time in comparison with available dressing materials. Woven fabric (bandage) that contains M. micrantha can be used for cut wounds healing purpose. The experiments were carried out in environment friendly way which indicates the production & processing of these dressing materials can have enormous contribution to sustainable operations and products.
