Eco-friendly High-Density Polyethylene Nanocomposites Reinforced with Rice Straw-Derived Nanocellulose: Synthesis, Characterization, and Biodegradability Assessment

Abstract
This study presents an innovative strategy for fabricating sustainable nanocomposites by using rice straw, a common agricultural byproduct, as a reinforcing agent for high-density polyethylene (HDPE). This research integrates waste valorisation, nanomaterial synthesis, and polymer engineering to develop materials with enhanced properties and a reduced environmental impact. The mechanical, thermal,...
