Effects of cellulose, bentonite and hybrid cellulose/bentonite fillers on morphology, ambient and low temperature tensile properties of thermoplastic starch composites for refrigerated food packaging application
Thermoplastic starch (TPS) is a biodegradable and renewable bio-based plastic which has great potential for the fabrication of edible and biodegradable film for refrigerated food packaging application. In this study, ... -
Preparation and characterization of linear low denstity polyethylene LLDPE/Thermoplastic Starch (TPS)/Banana fiber composites
The blending of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) with thermoplastic starch (TPS) and filled with banana fiber (BF) were investigated. Two types of systems were prepared; the LLDPE/TPS matrix with different blend ... -
Study on thermoplastic cassava starch modifications via chemical, photo and irradiation induced crosslinking
The characterization of modified thermoplastic starch (TPS) was investigated by means of mechanical properties, thermal properties, scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, high ...
