Obtaining a Flexible Film Elaborated from Cassava Thermoplastic Starch and Polylactic Acid

open access: yesInternational Journal of Polymer Science, 2015
A flexible film was obtained from a blend of cassava thermoplastic starch and polylactic acid, using maleic anhydride as coupling agent. For this, an experimental design with three factors was used: polylactic acid content, coupling agent content, and ...

Sericin as compatibilizer in starch/ polyester blown films

open access: yesPolímeros, 2018
This study investigated the effects of low concentrations of sericin (≤ 1.5 wt%) in starch- poly(butylene-adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) films. The films were produced by blown extrusion and mechanical, barrier and structural properties were determined.

Poly (lactic acid)/Poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) films with simultaneous high oxygen barrier and fast degradation properties

open access: yesGreen Energy & Environment
Although poly (lactic acid) (PLA) is a good environmentally-friendly bio-degradable polymer which is used to substitute traditional petrochemical-based polymer packaging films, the barrier properties of PLA films are still insufficient for high-barrier ...
