on starch molecules and hence, it may improve the mechanical
properties and water resistibility [12,13].
There are few papers about the use of carboxymethyl cellulose
(CMC) as reinforcing filler in a starch matrix. On the other hand, to
the best of our knowledge, there is no specific study on the effects
of nanoclay on the physical properties of starch–CMC biocomposite
films. The aim of this research work is study of the structural,
barrier, mechanical and thermal properties of glycerol plasticized
and CA modified starch–CMC–MMT bionanocomposites
