In this study, starch-based biodegradable composites (SDC) were prepared by extruding
using thermoplastic starch (TPS, 65% wt), polylactic acid (PLA, 30% wt) and poly (butylene …

Thermoplastic starch (TPS) as fully biodegradable biopolymer appeared to be one of the
most useful and promising materials for packaging purpose. To obtain TPS thermal and …

The aim of this study was to investigate if cellulose nanofiber (CNF) gels with high water
contents can be processed to nanocomposites with starch powder using continuous twin …

Plastic-based food packaging is generating a serious environmental problem by
accumulating large amounts of plastic in the surroundings. Ecological and health concerns …

Due to the negative environmental impacts of synthetic plastics, the development of
biodegradable plastics for both industrial and commercial applications is essential today …

This paper reviews the recent development of starch-based materials, including both
fundamental and application researches. In order to overcome the weakness of pure starch …

Starches used to develop biodegradable composites belong to different botanical sources
that exhibit different microstructures and morphologies. This results in confused relationship …

The vital differences using three types of thermoplastic starches (TPS), including potato
starch, corn starch, and soluble potato starch, with two different gelatinization degrees to …

Two different thermoplastic starches (TPS), namely maleic anhydride grafted starch (MA-g-
starch) and epoxidized cardanol grafted starch (Epicard-g-starch), were successfully …

For commercial success, bioplastics have to possess adequate physical properties. But the
same properties of biopolymers—such as starch—that make them environmentally attractive …
