Macromolecular Symposia, 2000
AbstractThe thermoplastics processing of native starch in the presence of water is a recent development with very wide possible applications. Eventually, oil‐based polymer materials have to be replaced in many applications by sustainable, inexpensive, natural materials from renewable resources. The present contribution focuses on the injection moulding

Thermoplastic Starch Processing and Characteristics—A Review
Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, 2014Canola Council of Canada, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada The rising costs of nonrenewable feedstocks and environmental concerns with their industrial usage have encouraged the study and development of renewable products, including thermoplastic starch (TPS).

Synthesis and properties of thermoplastic starch laurates
Carbohydrate Research, 2019Maize starch was allowed to react homogeneously in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc)/LiCl with lauric acid activated with 4-toluenesulfonyl chloride, N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide/4-(1-pyrrolidinyl)pyridine, 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole, and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) combined with oxalyl chloride.

Biocomposites of thermoplastic starch with surfactant
Carbohydrate Polymers, 2008Abstract Thermoplastic starch films were prepared by a casting technique. Microfibrillated fibers from husks of corncobs were added as reinforcing agents and glyceryl monostearate (GMS) as surfactant. The films were characterized using X-ray diffraction studies, thermal and mechanical analysis and water uptake experiments.

Formamide as the plasticizer for thermoplastic starch
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2004AbstractAs a novel plasticizer, formamide was tested in thermoplastic starch (TPS), in which native cornstarch granules were proved to transfer to a continuous phase by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the hydrogen bond interaction between plasticizer and starch was proved by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Mechanical tests showed

The processing of starch as a thermoplastic
Macromolecular Symposia, 2003AbstractThe thermoplastics processing of native starch in the presence of water is a recent development with very wide possible applications. Eventually, oil‐based polymer materials have to be replaced in many applications by sustainable, inexpensive, natural materials from renewable resources.

Gelatinization of Thermoplastic Starch Polymers [PDF]
This project was carried out in conjunction with Plantic Technologies, which has developed and now manufactures a new low cost, starch-based biodegradable plastic. The aim of this project was to determine the effect of varying the number of extrusion stages on the degree of gelatinization of the extrudate to be used in injection moulded, starch-based ...

Thermoreversible crosslinked thermoplastic starch
Polymer International, 2015AbstractA novel furan‐modified thermoreversible crosslinked thermoplastic starch was synthesized. The crosslinking mechanism was based on a thermoreversible furan/maleimide adduct formed by the Diels − Alder reaction. Thermoplastic starch (TPS) was first modified by forming a urethane linkage between the product of the reaction of furfuryl alcohol with

Thermoplastic Starch Polymer Blends and Nanocomposites
2012This paper reviews the development of bio-based thermoplastic starch polymer blends and nanocomposites at the University of Queensland. Starch-based thermoplastics are relatively cheap and more importantly manufactured using a renewable biomaterial. However traditionally most thermoplastic starch polymers suffer from low water resistance and loss of ...
