Plastic production has outgrown most other man-made materials, with more than 90% being
petroleum-based and nonbiodegradable. Packaging, primarily food packaging, consumes …

Thermoplastic starch (TPS) polymers were reviewed in this article. This review was
categorized into the following studies: the role of starch as a thermoplastic polymer …

With increasing environmental awareness and ecological risk, green composites have
gained more and more research attention, as they have the potential to be attractive than the …

Corrosion of metals is one of the most important problems in the manufacturing industries.
Many corrosion control methods use coatings of conducting polymers and conversion layers …

To enhance the adhesion between the natural fibre and the thermoplastic matrix, a coupling
agent of maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene MAPP is applied. In literature, there are …

Different Andean crops were used to obtain starches not previously reported in literature as
raw material for the production of biodegradable polymers. The twelve starches obtained …

Increasing environmental concerns in recent years focused greater attention on the
development of biodegradable materials. This paper presents the preparation of cassava …

This paper presents results on the characterization of corn starch by X-ray powder diffraction
and thermal analysis, as well as processing and characterization of starch …

Natural abundance, low density, high strength per unit weight, and biodegradability of
lignocellulosic materials, specifically natural fibres, render them attractive for reinforcement …

Amidst the global plastic pollution crisis, bio-based polymers have been proposed as a
potential substitute to tackle this issue. Owed to their biodegradability, biopolymers are …
