Starch composites use different types of starch from various sources, including modified starches. Fillers are added to improve properties. These composites can be made on a small or large scale using various methods like casting, melt-mixing, and extrusion. Different techniques can be used to study the microstructure of materials and provide information about the homogeneity […]

In the quest for sustainable alternatives to traditional plastics, polymer composites have emerged as a promising solution. Among these, starch-based materials stand out due to their biodegradability, renewable origin, cost-effectiveness, and versatility as thermoplastic polymers. However, their inherent hydrophilic nature poses challenges to achieving optimal mechanical properties and water vapor barrier. Enter the world of […]
