The main aim of this chapter is to indicate the importance of additives and modifications
used for PVA/starch biohybrid films. The additives and modifications used to improve the …

In this study, the PVA/starch blend films were prepared by dry melting method. The
microstructure showed that the starch existed in the continuous PVA matrix in granular …

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 …

In this study, starch-PVA based composite films combined with nano SiO2 were prepared by
a solvent casting technique. Different amounts of nano SiO2 additives were added to starch …

Recently, synthetic plastics are used widely in various fields, and with increased
applications, disposal of waste plastics has become a serious problem. Therefore …

This research studied the effects of pregelatinized starch (PST) and hydrolyzed starch (HST)
at various contents with 20 phr glycerol on the properties of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film …

In this work, active films based on starch and PVA (S: PVA ratio of 2: 1) were developed by
incorporating neem (NO) and oregano essential oils (OEO). First, a screening of the …

The bioplastics synthesized from starch which is low physical and mechanical properties.
Blending polymer (PLA Grafting and PVA Addition) and chemical modification by …

Nanocomposite films containing cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), as the reinforcing phase, and
poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA)/starch (S) blend, as the matrix, were prepared by solution casting …

Blends of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and angico gum (AG) and/or cashew gum (CG) were used
to produce films by casting method. Morphological and mechanical properties of these films …
