Biodegradable films from tapioca starch (TPS) were formed by tape casting. The impact of
glycerol (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20%) on the mechanical properties was investigated. The increase …

Studies of renewable polymers have highlighted starch's role to replace petroleum-based
components to produce biodegradable films with plastic-like qualities. In this study, the …

Starch blend films of native cassava starch and medium distarch phosphate cassava starch
(crosslinked cassava starch) were prepared by solution casting. The effects of kaolin content …

The growing concern with the amount of plastic materials found in the oceans makes it
necessary to develop biodegradable materials that have low toxicity to marine animals and …

Biodegradable starch-based film has been widely used as alternative to packaging derived
from fossil sources. The composition, structural and morphological properties of starch …

This study modified potato starches using hydrothermal treatment, ie, annealing (ANN) and
heatmoisture treatment (HMT). ANN in the ratio (1: 2) of potato starch and water at 60° C is …

The present research aims to improve the compatibility between relatively hydrophobic poly
(lactic acid)(PLA) and hydrophilic thermoplastic starch (TPS) and the properties of the …

A novel processing technique involving Solid-State Shear Pulverization (SSSP) was used to
produce thermoplastic starch (TPS) and Poly (Butylene Adipate-co-Terephthalate)(PBAT) …

The development and production of thermoplastic starch (TPS) films based on blown film
extrusion have been spurred by increasing interest in renewable resources and an …

Composite films of polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) were prepared by adding
thermoplastic starch (TPS)(TPS/PBAT) and nano-zinc oxide (nano-ZnO)(TPS/PBAT/nano …
