Thermoplastic Starch−Waxy Maize Starch Nanocrystals Nanocomposites

Biomacromolecules, 2006
Waxy maize starch nanocrystals obtained by hydrolysis of native granules were used as a reinforcing agent in a thermoplastic waxy maize starch matrix plasticized with glycerol. Compared to our previous studies on starch nanocrystals reinforced natural rubber (NR) [Macromolecules 2005, 38, 3783; 2005, 38, 9161], the present system presents two ...

Thermoplastic Starch

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

Thermoreversible crosslinked thermoplastic starch

Polymer International, 2015
AbstractA 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

Novel thermoplastic starch–clay nanocomposite foams

Nanotechnology, 2005
Novel thermoplastic starch (TPS)-clay nanocomposite foams were prepared by melt-processing. The use of urea as plasticizer avoids the cracking of TPS during storage and enhances the dispersion of ammonium-treated clay in TPS. X-ray diffraction shows an increase in the basal plane spacings of both natural and treated clays, suggesting formation of ...

Starch and cellulose nanocrystals together into thermoplastic starch bionanocomposites

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2015
In the present work, thermoplastic maize starch based bionanocomposites were prepared as transparent films, plasticized with 35% of glycerol and reinforced with both waxy starch (WSNC) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), previously extracted by acidic hydrolysis. The influence of the nanofiller content was evaluated at 1 wt.%, 2.5 wt.% and 5 wt.% of WSNC.

Effects of hydrophobized starches on thermoplastic starch foams made from potato starch

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2018
Single use food packaging made from expanded polystyrene (EPS) is generally discarded after use and, since it is a difficult material to recycle, generates a large amount of waste. The EPS can be replaced by thermoplastic starch (TPS) foams, which are made from renewable sources and are biodegradable. However, TPS foams are hydrophilic and absorb large

Thermoplastic starch/natural rubber blends

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2003
Thermoplastic starch/natural rubber polymer blends were prepared using directly natural latex and cornstarch. The blends were prepared in an intensive batch mixer at 150 °C, with natural rubber content varying from 2.5 to 20%. The blends were characterised by mechanical analysis (stress-strain) and by scanning electron microscopy.
