Abstract

This study investigated the effects of cassava starch-to-sugarcane bagasse cellulose ratio and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) concentration on biodegradable foam properties. Samples were produced by thermopressing at 180°C for 1 minute using starch-to-cellulose ratios of 1:1–5:1 (w/w) and PVA concentrations of 5% and 10%. We evaluated water absorption, tensile strength, and biodegradation. Formulation significantly affected foam characteristics. Water absorption ranged from 7.40% to 21.05%, with the lowest value obtained at a 1:1 ratio and 10% PVA. The highest tensile strength (2.084 MPa) occurred at a 2:1 ratio and 5% PVA. The highest measured biodegradation was 41.49%, while complete degradation occurred within 34 days. These findings demonstrate the potential of cassava starch and sugarcane bagasse cellulose combined with PVA for developing biodegradable packaging foam.
