Final properties of two thermoplastic corn starch matrices were improved by adding poly (ɛ-
caprolactone), PCL, at 2.5, 5, and 10% w/w. One of the thermoplastic starch matrices was …

As the demand for ready-made food is increasing, it is necessary to develop effective food
packaging materials with antimicrobial activity to ensure microbiological safety of food. In …

The article is a review concerning technological, ecological and economical aspects of
preparation and applications of biodegradable polymer materials obtained from renewable …

A biodegradable hot-melt adhesive was developed from poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) and soy
protein isolate (SPI). PCL and SPI were mixed at varying ratios with plasticizers (coconut oil …

The biaxial stretchability and film properties of polylactide/thermoplastic starch blends were
investigated. Polylactide (PLA) and thermoplastic starch (TPS) were blended in various …

We report a reproducible preparation and characterization of highly homogeneous
thermoplastic starch/pol (ε-caprolactone) blends (TPS/PCL) with a minimal …

Starch is a biopolymer that is widely available from agriculture/nature and thus is renewable
and cheap. In addition, starch-based materials are biodegradable, offering a great …

This work compares the effect of adding different biopolyester electrospun coatings made of
polycaprolactone (PCL), polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) on oxygen …

Nanocomposites of poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)(PBAT) with montmorillonite
(MMT) nanoparticles were prepared via solution blending. Natural MMT was modified by …

The effect of the addition of cassava thermoplastic starch on the general properties and the
photodegradation behavior of poly (L-lactic acid)(PLLA) was evaluated by blending PLLA …
