  Abstract: Since the packaging industry is an engineered product with complex composites that involve a close relationship between composition, processing, and performance, optimization of formulation, cellular morphology, and engineering performance of biodegradable starch-based biofoams presents a considerable challenge. This study proposes a machine-learning-aided structure–property modeling framework to design and optimize starch-based biodegradable biofoams for sustainable packaging applications. A physics-informed synthetic dataset consisting of 10,000 formulations was created based on engineering relationships …
