As a potential replacement for materials derived from fossil fuels, novel micro cellulose fibers based biocomposites have emerged as one of the most promising materials for producing sustainable composites. Cellulose fibers from Paederia Foetida stem was bleached with NaClO2, then isolated for 2 hours in an alkaline solution of 5% NaOH to produce micro cellulose fibers. Using casting techniques, different biocomposites were successfully prepared by combining 5% (weight) micro cellulose fibers (CMFPFs) into different matrices, namely Colocasia Esculenta starch (PCE) and poly lactic acid (PLA). Biocomposites were characterized using water absorption tests, X-ray diffraction, FTIR, morphology, Tensile strength, and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). The results showed that incorporating 5% CMFPFs into the PLA (sample BPA/5CM) improved tensile strength, elastic modulus of 54.4 ± 4.38 MPa and 6196 ± 142.87 MPa, respectively, and good water resistance, whereas incorporating 5% CMFPFs into PCE (sample BCE/5CM) produced a small impact on the increase in thermal properties, and tensile strength, and elastic modulus, but a significant impact on the observed water absorption, crystallinity index, and elongation properties. FESEM results on the BCE/5CM biocomposite and BPA/5CM biocomposite revealed even fiber dispersion and strong adhesion in the matrix. These findings point to ecofriendly microfibre-based biocomposites as ideal candidates for natural materials suitable for food packaging materials.
