In previous works, we had shown that blending plasticised wheat starch (PWS) with
biodegradable polyesters improves properties such as the water resistance. The present …

Petroleum derived plastics dominate the food packaging industry even today. These
materials have brought a lot of convenience and attraction to agro, food and packaging …

In this study thermoplastic starch (TPS) matrix‐based microfibrillated cellulose (MFC)
reinforced microcomposites were prepared via extrusion compounding in one‐step. Starch …

Cellulose, starch, chitosan, polylactic acid, and polyhydroxyalkanoates are seen as
promising alternatives to conventional plastics in food packaging. However, the application …

In the past years, research has been focused on biodegradable materials to replace
petroleum based plastics for food packaging application. For this purpose, biopolymers are …

Blends of thermoplastic cornstarch (TPS) and chitosan (TPC) were obtained by melt
extrusion. The effect of TPC incorporation in TPS matrix and polymer interaction on …

The vast consumption of conventional plastics has a significant effect on the environment
that encourages the utilization of natural resources as the raw materials to substitute the …

Biodegradable polymers play a very important role in plastic engineering by replacing non
biodegradable, non renewable petrol based polymers. Starch is a renewable …

This study comes as a part of the recent efforts aimed to face the challenges of
environmental pollution by non-degradable plastic. Thermoplastic starch is classified as one …
