Biodegradable blends of starch/polyvinyl alcohol/glycerol: multivariate analysis of the mechanical properties

Abstract The aim of the work was to study the mechanical properties of extruded starch/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/glycerol biodegradable blends using multivariate analysis. The blends were produced as cylindrical strands by extrusion using PVAs with different hydrolysis degrees and viscosities, at two...
