Strategies to improve the mechanical properties of starch-based materials: plasticization and natural fibers reinforcement
(Associação Brasileira de Polímeros, 2014)
Biodegradable polymers are starting to be introduced as raw materials in the food-packaging market. Nevertheless, their price is very high. Starch, a fully biodegradable and bioderived polymer is a very interesting alternative ...
Thermoplastic cassava starch-waxy maize starch nanocrystals nanocomposites
(Nova Science Publishers, 2008)
The present study investigated the effects of adding maize starch nanocrystals on the physical and mechanical properties of thermoplastic cassava starch films. Waxy maize starch nanocrystals obtained by hydrolysis of native ...
Synthesis of nanocellulose as mechanical reinforcement of thermoplastic starch
(Universidad Nacional de Colombia, 2023)
Nanocellulose was successfully synthetized from microcrystalline cellulose by an acid hydrolysis process. The sample characterization was performed employing X-ray diffraction, zeta potential and confocal Raman microscopy. ...
EXTRUSION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THERMOPLASTIC STARCH SHEETS FROM “MACHO” BANANA.
(2013-02-19)
Starch isolated from macho banana was oxidized by using 2.5% and 3.5% (w/w) of sodium hypochlorite. Native and oxidized starches with glycerol were processed using a conical twin screw extruder to obtain thermoplastic ...
Agro-industrial residue from starch extraction of Pachyrhizus ahipa as filler of thermoplastic corn starch films
(Elsevier, 2015-12-10)
Biocomposites films based on thermoplastic corn starch (TPS) containing 0.5% w/w fibrous residue from Pachyrhizus ahipa starchextraction(PASR) were obtainedbymelt-mixing andcompressionmolding. PASR ismainly constituted by ...
Mechanical and morphological properties of poly(3-Hydroxybutyrate)-Thermoplastic starch/Clay/Eugenol bionanocomposites
(Sociedad Chilena de Quimica, 2020-12)
Food packaging for traditional foods mainly serves to isolate foods from external environmental. For this reason, it is a growing interest in developing active packaging materials that can extend foodstuff shelf-life. Also, ...
The influence of UV-C irradiation on the properties of thermoplastic starch and polycaprolactone biocomposite with sisal bleached fibers
(Elsevier B.V., 2012-10-01)
The effect of UV-C irradiation of the TPS and PCL biocomposites with sisal bleached fibers was investigated. The biocomposite was UV-C irradiated at room temperature under air atmosphere. The structural and morphological ...
New strategies in the preparation of exfoliated thermoplastic starch-montmorillonite nanocomposites
(Elsevier B.V., 2011-11-01)
A simple method based on the combination of the intercalation from solution and melt-processing preparation methods was used to prepare highly exfoliated and compatible thermoplastic starch (TPS) and montmorillonite clay ...
