Introduction The starch is a natural polymer that can readily be cast into polymer films. The matrix of starch-based films is normally formed during the drying of a gelatinized dispersion, as hydrogen bonds form between hydroxyl groups. As these interactions are weak, the mechanical properties of starch-based polymer film are of poor quality. Unless genetically or chemically modified, starch cannot form film with adequate mechanical properties (high percentage elongation, tensile and flexural strength) [1]. Recently, polymer nanocomposites reinforced with lower volume fraction of dispersed nano-sized inorganic compounds have attracted steadily growing interest due to their peculiar and fascination properties as well as their unique application in commercial sectors [2-4]. Nanoreinforcements of biodegradable polymers have strong promise in designing eco-friendly green nanocomposites for several applications. These new composites are significant due to their nanoscale dispersion, even with very low level of nanofiller incorporation (≤5 wt%), which results in high aspect ratio and high surface area. The reinforcement efficiency of nanocomposites can match that of conventional composites with 40–50% of loading with classical fillers [2]. Among the numerous possible composite combinations, those based upon carbon nanostructures as filler are acquiring a special interest because of their possible applications [4]. A number of techniques have been employed for producing carbon nanostructures materials, such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD), laser ablation, arc discharge [3], co-catalyst deoxidization process [5] and vapor-grown [6], but most of them are
