Influence of Starch Composition and Molecular Weight on Physicochemical Properties of Biodegradable Films

Influence of Starch Composition and Molecular Weight on Physicochemical Properties of Biodegradable Films

Thermoplastic starch (TPS) films are considered one of the most promising alternatives for replacing synthetic polymers in the packaging field due to the starch biodegradability, low cost, and abundant availability. However, starch granule composition, expressed in terms of amylose content and phosp...
