Starch has received research focus due to its low cost, excellent film-forming ability, bio-
compatibility, extensive sources, renewability and biodegradability. However, native starch …

The synthesis of conventional polyurethanes (PUs) relies on isocyanate reactants as crucial
starting materials. Toxicity, water-sensitivity and phosgene-based synthesis of isocyanates …

Composite phase change material (CPCM) as passive battery thermal management system
(BTMS) still confronted many challenges such as easy leakage, high rigid and low thermal …

The challenges related to the persistence of plastics in natural ecosystems fostered strong
interest in developing biodegradable bioplastics. Among natural biopolymers, starch gained …

Growing public awareness of the harmful environmental impacts of plastics has sparked
interest in the development of plant-based packaging materials. Because starch is a …

Control of microbial infections is one of the growing concerns in modern societies due to the
increasing presence and risk of pathogenic bacterial spread. Therefore, there is a strong …

This study focused on the development of cross-linked poly (ester urethane)/starch (PEUST)
composites containing 50 wt% starch content for food-packaging materials. The NCO …

Facile surgical delivery and stable fixation of synthetic scaffolds play roles just as critically as
degradability and bioactivity in ensuring successful scaffold-guided tissue regeneration …

This paper documents the biodegradation behaviour of flexible films produced by physically
blended and chemically grafted starch–polyurethane (PU) hybrid materials. Conversion of …

Green and environment-friendly polymers with comparable thermal and mechanical
performance can be suitable alternatives of synthetic polymers. This paper documents the …
