Effect of black seed fiber, on the physical, thermal, mechanical, morphological, and biodegradation properties of cornstarch-based biocomposites
This work aims to investigate the effect of black seed fiber as a reinforcing material for the fabrication of cornstarch-based biocomposite. The casting procedure was applied to fabricate the biocomposite at different concentrations of black seed fiber (3%, 6%, and 9%) and plasticizer mixture of fru...

This work aims to investigate the effect of black seed fiber as a reinforcing material for the fabrication of cornstarch-based biocomposite. The casting procedure was applied to fabricate the biocomposite at different concentrations of black seed fiber (3%, 6%, and 9%) and plasticizer mixture of fructose and glycerol set at a proportion of 30% (1:1) for total weight. The biocomposite films were tested in terms of casting procedure physical, tensile, thermal, and morphological properties. Increasing the black seed fiber concentration from 3% to 9% decreased the density and moisture content of the films by 15.67% and 29.04%, respectively, and soil burial tests showed that the films became less resistant to biodegradation. On the other hand, an increase in tensile strength (40%), Young’s modulus (26%), and crystallinity index (64%) were observed when 9% of black seed fiber was added, reflected in a consistent structure and outstanding matrix-reinforcement compatibility.
