Synthetic plastic impacts the environment due to its slow degradation and generation of microplastics, driving development bioplastics. This study evaluated use bagasse fiber combined with corn potato starch improve physical mechanical properties Five bioplastic mixtures (Am1 Am5) were prepared starch, glycerin, acetic acid, maleic anhydride, agave bagasse. Am1 was without bagasse, others different amounts (0, 10, 30, 50, 70 g). Bioplastics made from (Ap1 Ap5) also produced under same conditions assessed using thermogravimetric (TGA) scanning electron microscopy (SEM) tests. Analysis variance showed significant differences (p < 0.001) in moisture, Young’s modulus, stress The corn-based bioplastics exhibited lower moisture values (7.26% 5.51%) compared potato-based ones (9.68% 8.89%). modulus increased (Am5 = 4.59 MPa) (Ap5 3.53 higher Furthermore, TGA SEM revealed surface morphology effects processing, based on their results, it found that improved thermal bioplastics, especially ones, suggesting potential as a material environmental impact.
