Preparation of thermoplastic starch
Native starch and WX-starch, i.e., native starch enriched with amylopectin, were mixed with plasticizers and thermomechanically treated in a twin screw mixer in order to obtain thermoplastic starch. Ethylene glycol, propane tricl (glycerine) or poly(ethylene glycol) with a molar mass less than 1000 g/mol were used as plasticizers.

Biodegradable polymer blends are environmentally friendly materials with the ability to tailor material properties according to requirements. Abstract Geotextiles are typically used to stabilize steep earthen structures to prevent landslides. Usually, such geotextiles are made from petrol‐based polymers (such as polypropylene), but the use of ...

Microplastic Pollution in Aquaculture: Challenges and Mitigation
ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) have gained significant attention due to their potential environmental threat. This paper addresses MPs contamination in aquaculture, a critical concern for food safety and public health. The extensive use and disposal of plastic products in aquaculture, like netting materials, pose a significant threat to aquatic life ...

Effect of Low‐Crystallinity Cellulose Produced by Shear and Cool Milling on Polyamide 6 Composites
Pure cellulose powder was processed using a milling machine equipped with a cooling unit to produce low crystallinity cellulose (LCC). Recrystallized cellulose (RCC) was obtained by recrystallizing LCC under conditions of 80 ºC and 90% relative humidity (RH).
