| Abstract | The non-biodegradable and non-renewable nature of plastic packaging has led to increasing interest in packaging materials based on bio-nanocomposites (biopolymer matrix reinforced with nanofillers). One such material is wheat gluten and its components. In this study we investigated nanocomposite materials prepared by casting a mixture of extracted glutenin from wheat gluten as the matrix and different concentrations of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxy radical (TEMPO)-carboxylated cellulose nanocrystals (C-CNC) as the reinforcing agent. The resulting films were characterized for their thermomechanical and barrier properties. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations confirmed that the filler was homogeneously distributed in the matrix at the low and medium loadings, but some agglomerates and voids were visible at concentrations > 5 wt%. The mechanical properties showed that the presence of C-CNC (5 wt%) resulted in an increase (58.8 %) in tensile strength (TS) of glutenin films while at higher contents, the TS tended to decrease because of partial agglomeration of the filler. These effects were also reflected in the dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) results and at a 5 wt% loading of nanocrystals the glutenin film gave the highest storage modulus (E′). The results obtained from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curves indicated that increasing the amount of C-CNC from 0 to 10 wt% led to an increase in glass transition temperature (Tg) from −29.8 to −23.7 °C. Although the use of C-CNC reduced the resistance to water vapor permeability (WVP) and water absorbance (WA), its incorporation up to 5 wt% resulted in composites with the lowest weight loss in water (WL). These results demonstrated that nanocellulose can reinforce glutenin polymers and that this system has potential as a packaging material, although much further study is needed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
