text: This chapter provides use of starch for the production of polymeric materials, including the major aspect of starch plasticization, the preparation and assessment of blends, the processing of thermoplastic starch (TPS), the problems associated with its degradation and the preparation of TPS composites and nanocomposites.
text: Different compositions of wheat thermoplastic starch (TPS) and polycaprolactone (PCL) are melt blended by extrusion and injected.
text: Under the action of shear and heat, the starch and plasticizers (water and glycerol) are transformed into thermoplastic starch (TPS) through a well known transformation called "gelatinization".
text: in which thermoplastic starch (TPS) is first made by pre-mixing starch with a polyfunctional alcohol before introduction into the twin-screw extruder.
text: The present paper focuses on the effects of blending poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) with thermoplastic starch (TPS) on the final biodegradation rate of PCL/TPS blends, emphasizing the type of environment in which biodegradation takes place.
text: Thermoplastic starch (TPS) has two main drawbacks when compared to most plastic materials currently in use; it is mostly water-soluble and has poor mechanical properties.
