Glycerol is the major by-product of the biodiesel production line. Every cycle of processing,
yields∼ 10%(w/w) of waste glycerol, and therefore, creates a glut in the glycerol market. The …

The production and use of biopolymers increases continuously with a very high rate thus all
information on these materials is very important. This feature article first defines the terms …

Conductive hydrogels have found large application prospects in the fabrication of flexible
multifunctional electronic devices for future-generation wearable human–machine …

The last decade has seen the development of green materials, which intends to reduce the

The effects of starches from different botanical sources (waxy corn, cassava, sweet potato,
potato, wheat, and corn) and different commercial modified cassava starches (esterified …

This paper reviews the thermal processing of starch-based polymers, including both
fundamental science such as microstructure, phase transition and rheology, as well as …

The aim of this review is to show the relationships between the structure, the process, and
the properties of biodegradable multiphase systems based on plasticized starch (PLS), the …

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 …

The reinforcing potential of cellulose nanofibers obtained from agro-residues was
investigated in a starch-based thermoplastic polymer. Cellulose nanofibers were isolated …

Effects of plasticizers (glycerol, sorbitol, and 1: 1 mixture of glycerol and sorbitol) on moisture
sorption characteristics of cassava starch films were investigated at three levels of plasticizer …
