Starch was converted to a hydrophobic derivative by phthalation. The starch phthalate
(stath) thus obtained was found to show highly crystalline nature and sharp melting point …

A high-content starch/low-density polyethylene (LDPE) blend with acceptable
biodegradation and mechanical properties was produced by adjusting the compatibility of …

In this study, thermoplastic starch (TPS) was mixed with low density polyethylene with
different melt flow indexes in a one-step extrusion process to produce LDPE/TPS blends …

In the present study, blends of starch with different thermoplastics were prepared by a melt
blending technique. The tensile properties and morphology of the blends were measured. It …

This work considered the utilisation of environmentally friendly biodegradable materials
instead of conventional polymeric materials, in order to prevent further environmental …

As a hydrophilic renewable polymer, starch has been widely used in biocompatible plastics
as a filler for more than two decades. The present study aimed at investigating the effects of …

The mechanical, structural, and thermal properties of injection‐molded composites of
granular cornstarch, poly (d, l‐lactic acid)(PDLLA), and poly (hydroxy ester ether)(PHEE) …

The mechanical, thermal and biodegradable properties of poly (d, l-lactide)(PDLLA), poly (3-
hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)(PHBV) and poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG) blends were …

In the present article a series of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) blends with different
amounts of fatty esters of amylose and starch, were prepared in a Haake‐Buchler Reomixer …

The biodegradability of low density polyethylene (LDPE)/starch and LDPE/starch/starch
acetate (STAc) blends was tested and observed to be dependent on STAc content. The …
