Review on MXene–Starch Based Packaging Systems for Sustainable and Biodegradable Electronics
Abstract
To address the growing demand for sustainable and high-performance materials in electronics packaging, starch-based MXene bio-composite films emerge as a promising alternative to conventional synthetic polymers. This work provides a comprehensive review of the integration of MXenes with starch matrices for enhancing functional properties critical to electronics packaging. Improvements in mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, thermal stability, barrier performance, and environmental sustainability are critically analysed. Also, different MXene compositions, and incorporation strategies are compared to identify the most effective approaches. It is observed that starch–MXene films hold significant potential for replacing petroleum-based materials in electronic device packaging. Besides, the interactive effect of MXenes can modify starch films for advanced applications by balancing biodegradability with performance, making them a strong candidate for next-generation sustainable electronics packaging.
