Biodegradable Polymeric Blends of Thermoplastic Starch-An Overview

  • Unique Paper ID: 181894
  • PageNo: 198-208
  • Abstract:
  • In today’s world, biodegradable materials are a key focus of discussion. As the demand for eco-friendly products continues to grow, the use of biodegradable materials in everyday items is rising significantly. People are increasingly seeking sustainable alternatives that do not harm the environment. In this article, the key focus is on how biodegradable Thermoplastic Starch (TPS) Blends help in sustainability. Thermoplastics are polymers that can flow when heated above the glass transition temperature. Their plastic deformation involves viscous flow with complex rheology which is influenced by high molar mass, entanglements, interactions and chain branching.
