To increase the use of agricultural residues, such as date palm fibers, for sustainable reinforcement biocomposites, this study investigated incorporation varying weight percentages microfibers (DPMF) ranging from 0 wt.% to 10 into polycaprolactone (PCL) matrix. Biocomposites were fabricated using a combination compression molding and dry blending techniques with without sodium hydroxide (NaOH) alkali treatment. The surface modification was found roughness removing impurities lignin, hemicellulose, wax, while improving crystallinity, evidenced by FTIR, XRD, TGA, particle size analyses. Among different biocomposites investigated, results 5 DPMF content exhibited highest tensile properties: approximately 20% in strength 164% Young's Modulus comparison neat PCL. crystallinity matrix an increasing trend 39% PCL 43% biocomposites. Furthermore, treated demonstrated higher water-repellency behavior improved thermal properties. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) indicated enhanced storage moduli alkali-treated composites; at 35 °C, modulus showed 22% compared untreated reflecting stiffness thermomechanical performances. This highlights potential efficient, eco-friendly alternative fossil-based conventional biocomposite materials' rigid packaging applications.

Due to the growing environmental concerns of petroleum-based plastics, there has been a surge interest in biodegradable alternatives. In this study, starch-based bioplastic was prepared using biopolymers extracted from corn and potato biopolymer mixed with calcium carbonate (filler) plasticizers (glycerol-sorbitol) evaluated. For fabricated formulation, Taguchi analysis gave an optimal formulation 9 g starch, mL glycerol, 2.5 carbonate, having well-balanced mechanical strength, flexibility, biodegradability. The results showed major improvement tensile strength 22.5% (6.08 MPa) 31.7% increase Young's modulus (0.103 GPa), compared least effective sample. biodegradation tests, degradation rate C1 (66.68%) fastest, while C3 had slower (29.08%). Moisture absorption varied considerably, sample COM3 absorbing 25.92% just 4.35% for P3, P3 absorbed only 4.35%. Among compounds, higher lower percentage water solubility were P1 (20.50%) (49.04%) respectively. These underscore potential bioplastics sustainable packaging, offering environmentally friendly option traditional plastics.
