Pasquini et al. reported that cellulose whiskers with high aspect ratio extracted directly from cassava bagasse were used to prepare NR nanocomposite films by mixing with the NR latex emulsion. The mixtures were cast on Teflon plates and dried overnight to obtain composite films. These NR nanocomposite films were not vulcanized by standard process. They found that a significant increase of the storage tensile modulus was observed upon filler addition by dynamic mechanical analysis.

Casting is one of the most common techniques for processing lab scale starch composites. Different types of polysaccharide nanofillers such as cellulose from flax, wood, hemp ramie, cassava bagasse, wheat straws, starch from waxy maize, regular maize, and chitin, chitosan, among others were used to fabricate starch nanocomposites by the solution casting method.

Table 10.2 illustrates that cassava bagasse and whole wheat produce equivalent sugars and lactic acid as com starch. Cellulose produces less sugars and lactic acid than com starch.

Lignocellulosic fibers are abundant in nature and several types of them can be used as a reinforcement in polymeric matrices, such as jute, sisal, bamboo, cotton, ramie, flax, curau4 and banana. Some others are agro-industrial or agricultural residues, such as sugarcane and cassava bagasses rice oat and soy hulls barley and wheat straws, which also have a great potential to be used for this purpose.

The recovery of butanol from fermentation broth is necessary to avoid product inhibition. The use of the hyperbutanol-producing C. acetobutylicum strain in an FBB under continuous butanol recovery was studied using concentrated cassava bagasse hydrolysate. The stable production of n-butanol with a periodic nutrient supply resulted in 76.4 g/L of butanol production. With gas stripping, long-term stability, improved fermentation kinetics, and continuous butanol production, the process is attractive for industrial production (Lu et al., 2012).
