Preparation and Characterization of Octenyl Succinic Anhydride Modified Taro Starch Nanoparticles.

The polar surface and hydrophilicity of starch nanoparticles (SNPs) result in their poor dispersibility in nonpolar solvent and poor compatibility with hydrophobic polymers, which limited the application in hydrophobic system. To improve their hydrophobicity, SNPs prepared through self-assembly of s...
