Poly (lactic acid) or polylactide (PLA) is a commercial biobased, biodegradable,
biocompatible, compostable and non-toxic polymer that has competitive material and …

Polylactic acid (PLA) and thermoplastic starch (TPS) are biodegradable polymers of
biological origin, and the mixture of these polymers has been studied due to the desirable …

The aim of this paper is to report the impact of the addition of cellulose nanocrystals on the
barrier properties and on the migration behaviour of poly (lactic acid), PLA, based nano …

The global environmental pollution by micro-and macro-plastics reveals the consequences
of an extensive use of recalcitrant plastic products together with inappropriate waste …

Polylactic acid (PLA) and Starch are both bio-based biodegradable polymers that have
properties that are complementary to each other. PLA/starch blend exploits the good …

In this study, a new compatibilizer was synthesized to improve the compatibility of the poly
(lactic acid)/thermoplastic starch blends. The compatibilizer was based on maleic anhydride …

This paper reviews the state of the art in the field of the rheology of starch polymers,
including specially designed rheometric techniques and complex rheology as influenced by …

Processes for chemical transformation of starch by extrusion processing (reactive extrusion,
REX) are reviewed with a focus on non-food applications. The scope, advantages …

Cassava bagasse is an inexpensive and broadly available waste byproduct from cassava
starch production. It contains roughly 50% cassava starch along with mostly fiber and could …

This work deals with the study of the mesomorphic form or mesophase induced by tensile
drawing from the amorphous state of a polylactide material containing 4 mol% of d …
