Horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum L.) starch: Basic physico-chemical characteristics and use as thermoplastic material
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-11-04)
Starch isolated from non-edible Aesculus hippocastanum seeds was characterized and used for preparing starch-based materials. The apparent amylose content of the isolated starch was 33.1%. The size of starch granules ranged ...
Processing and characterization of thermoplastic starch/polycaprolactone/compatibilizer ternary blends for packaging applications
(Springer, 2015-08-07)
Thermoplastic starch (TPS)/polycaprolactone(PCL) blends were obtained by melt mixing. First, thebest formulation of thermoplastic starch (starch, plasticizerand additives) was studied. The obtained filmswere characterized ...
Physical and mechanical properties of thermoplastic starch/montmorillonite nanocomposite films
(Elsevier, 2008-07)
Glycerol-plasticized starch/clay nanocomposites films were prepared from potato starch and three different loadings of montmorillonite aqueous suspensions by casting, to study the effect of the nanoclay in the properties ...
Thermoplastic starch/natural rubber blends
(Elsevier B.V., 2003-07-01)
Thermoplastic starch/natural rubber polymer blends were prepared using directly natural latex and cornstarch. The blends were prepared in an intensive batch mixer at 150 degreesC, with natural rubber content varying from ...
Poly(Ethylene Glycol) as a Compatibilizer for Poly(Lactic Acid)/Thermoplastic Starch Blends

Morphological, mechanical properties and biodegradability of biocomposite thermoplastic starch and polycaprolactone reinforced with sisal fibers
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2012-04-01)
The incorporation of fibers as reinforcements in polymer composites has increased due to their renewability, low cost and biodegradability. In this study, sisal fibers were added to a polymer matrix of thermoplastic starch ...

Food packaging bags based on thermoplastic corn starch reinforced with talc nanoparticles
(Elsevier, 2014-05-09)
Packaging bags from thermo-compressed films of thermoplastic corn starch containing talc nanoparticles (0, 1, 3 and 5% w/w) were developed. Mechanical properties of films were studied by two different techniques (tensile ...
Thermoplastic starch modified during melt processing with organic acids: The effect of molar mass on thermal and mechanical properties
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2011)
Thermoplastic starch (TPS) was modified with ascorbic acid and citric acid by melt processing of native starch with glycerol as plasticizer in an intensive batch mixer at 160 degrees C. It was found that the molar mass ...
