Investigation of the biodegradation of low-density polyethylene-starch Bi-polymer blends

Starch is one of the most widely available and easily obtainable natural polymers. This makes it an appealing bio-based alternative to synthetic polymers. Yet, the strong intramolecular and inter-molecular hydrogen bonds of starch polymer chains are a major obstacle in its plasticisation. This study...
