Effect of Dip Coating Polymer Solutions on Properties of Thermoplastic Cassava Starch
Thermoplastic starch (TPS) was prepared by melt-mixing cassava starch with glycerol. Polyethylene (PE), polyethylene-grafted-maleic anhydride (PE-MAH) and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) solutions at 2% (<i>w/v</i>) were used to coat TPS using the dip coating process. The tensile strength of TPS...
