The study was aimed to improve the properties of starch-based biodegradable films by the
way of polymer blending. The composite films were prepared by incorporating various …

Nanocomposites of starch, poly vinyl alcohol (PVOH), and laponite RD (LRD) were
produced by solution mixing and cast into films. In general, an increase in LRD content (0 …

Polymer films of rice starch/Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) were prepared by casting method.
Different blends were made varying the concentration of rice starch and PVA. Tensile …

Biodegradable films based on starches have poor mechanical and barrier properties,
limiting their applications as a food packaging material. The combination of two or more …

Effect of additives on properties of PVA/tapioca starch biodegradable films was studied. The
additives used in this research were glycerol (GLY), polyethylene glycol (PEG) and …

The effect of storage time on the physical properties of pea starch (PS) and polyvinyl alcohol
(PVA) films and their blend was studied to develop biodegradable packaging materials for …

Starch‐based biodegradable films were prepared by using solution‐casting method and
reinforced by agricultural residues [apricot and walnut shell (APS and WNS) powder]. The …

The current study focuses on the fabrication, characterization, and cytotoxic effects of
polymeric biocomposite films composed of starch, various concentrations of citric acid (3 …

In this study, the influence of the concentration of flour from jabuticaba peel (FJP) and the
concentration of glycerol (CG) on the physicochemical, barrier, mechanical, optical …

Biodegradable films, with starch as a matrix, were developed and reinforced with wheat and
corn hulls. The effect of the particle size of the filler on the microstructure and mechanical …
