Ecofriendly Preparation and Characterization of a Cassava Starch/Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate Film [PDF]
Processes, 2020 Composite films of polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) were prepared by adding thermoplastic starch (TPS) (TPS/PBAT) and nano-zinc oxide (nano-ZnO) (TPS/PBAT/nano-ZnO). The changes of surface morphology, thermal properties, crystal types and functional groups of starch during plasticization were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy ...

Evaluation of the mulch films biodegradation in soil: a methodological review
Italian Journal of Agronomy, 2021 Plastic mulch films are widely used in agriculture, but most are not biodegradable in soil. Biodegradable mulch films are blends of different polymers whose composition-ratios vary notably from one product to another. Their degradation rates vary greatly
