TL;DR: This review analyses the production processes, structure, properties and suitability of these biofibers for various industrial applications.

TL;DR: In this article, the possibility of cross-linking starch films using citric acid to improve their strength and stability was examined, and the results showed that the cross-linked starch films showed about 150% higher strength than non-cross-linked films and had strength better than most crosslinked starch and synthetic polymer blended films previously developed.

TL;DR: Poly(carboxylic acids) that can crosslink in both dry and wet conditions have been shown to provide the desired improvements in tensile properties, increase in stability under aqueous conditions, and also promote cell attachment and proliferation.

TL;DR: In this article, a fiber extraction method that produces fibers from cornstalks with mechanical properties similar to that of the common textile fibers was developed, which is suitable for textile and other industrial applications.

TL;DR: The potential of using plant proteins for tissue engineering and drug delivery has been explored as mentioned in this paper, mostly with zein, which can be made into fibers, films, hydrogels and micro-and nano-particles for medical applications.
