Feasibility studies of cellulose microfiber (CMF) reinforced poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) composites for food packaging applications

Recently, there has been increased interest in the extraction of cellulose microfiber (CMF)/nanofibers from plant sources and their utilization as fillers in polymers. These natural fibers are characterized by good mechanical, thermal, and biodegradability properties. The present work was aimed at s...
