This work investigates the potential application of sustainable materials based on thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) polymers reinforced with cellulose derived from environmentally friendly hemp. The increasing cultivation hemp and resulting waste, such as cannabinoid extraction residues, prompted an exploration hemp-based for various applications. Ethylene-norbornene copolymer, widely used in packaging, was chosen polymer matrix. Various derivatives, including fibers shives, were incorporated to enhance bio-based content material. study focused effect two commonly surface modifiers cellulosic materials: maleic anhydride N-2-aminoethyl-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane. Both interfacial adhesion between matrix filler, while inducing a partial hydrophobization bioadditive. research presents novel approach using shives biofillers TPE-based polymeric materials, facilitated by their facile mechanochemical modification. modified fillers composites subjected comprehensive series mechanical, thermal, spectroscopic microscopic analyses, complemented measurements free energy changes. demonstrated significant increase initial thermal decomposition temperature enhanced dispersion biofiller withinthe These findings indicate use flexible packaging materials.
