Thermoplastic starch is a good candidate for preparing biobased plastics. However, certain
deficiencies in the ingredient, such as its poor mechanical strength and lack of antibacterial …

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 …

A biodegradable thermoplastic starch (TPS) was successfully prepared from plasticizer
ethanolamine and native cornstarch. The hydrogen bonding interaction between starch and …

Increasing concerns about exhausting the natural resources and growing global
environmental issues caused by petro-based materials have resulted in the emergence of …

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 …

This study was carried out to evaluate the potential of plastic synthesized using bio-based
starch. The method began with extraction of starch from chosen tubers with high content of …

Starch is a biodegradable biopolymer, a sustainable material that can replace conventional
petrochemical-based plastics. However, starch has some limitations, as it must be …

This work reports on the development of starch-rich thermoplastic based formulations
produced by using mango kernel flour, avoiding the extraction process of starch from mango …

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 …

Thermoplastic starch (TPS) normally made from native starch exhibits tensile strength (TS) of
less than 5 MPa, elongation-at-break of less than 50%, and water vapor permeability (WVP) …
