“…It can be seen that the thermal decomposition of the films occurred in three main steps, which generally conforms to the three thermal degradation phenomena of most starch-based films reported in literature [29][30][31]. The initial stage of the thermal degradation of the films occurred at temperature less than 100°C.…”

“…The thermal, mechanical and barrier properties of nanocomposite materials, which determined their suitability for packaging application, have been studied [6,[11][12][13][14][15][16]. Zeng et al [11], Taghizadeh and Sabouri [12] reported that the platelet nature of the nanoparticles usually hinders the diffusion of gases and specifically contributes to the improvement of their thermal and mechanical properties.…”

“…Also, Huang and Yu [13] noted that introducing inorganic particles improved the thermal stability and mechanical resistance of starch-montmorilonite nanocomposite. The addition of chitosan in starch biofilms increased the thermal stability and ultraviolet absorption of the films [14][15][16]. Azeredo et al [6], who carried out a study on the nanocomposite edible films from mango puree reinforced with cellulose nanofibre, revealed that the addition of the cellulose nanofibre significantly improved the thermal and mechanical properties of the films.…”

“…On the basis of biodegradability, availability, renewability, non-toxicity and affordability, starch is one of the most promising of all the potential biopolymer materials [1][2][3][4]. The use of starch in packaging promotes sustainability and addresses the negative impact non-biodegradable plastics pose on the environment [5,6].…”

The use of starch based films as a potential alternative choice to petroleum derived plastics is imperative for environmental waste management. This study presents a new biopolymer (sugar palm starch) for the preparation of biodegradable packaging films using a solution casting technique. The effect of different plasticizer types (glycerol (G), sorbitol (S) and glycerol-sorbitol (GS) combination) with varying concentrations (0, 15, 30 and 45, w/w%) on the tensile, thermal and barrier properties of sugar palm starch (SPS) films was evaluated. Regardless of plasticizer types, the tensile strength of plasticized SPS films decreased, whereas their elongation at break (E%) increased as the plasticizer concentrations were raised. However, the E% for G and GS-plasticized films significantly decreased at a higher plasticizer concentration (45% w/w) due to the anti-plasticization effect , irrespective of plasticizer types. Overall, the current study manifested that plasticized sugar palm starch can be regarded as a promising biopolymer for biodegradable films.

“…The objective of the work conducted by Dang and Yoksan (Dang and Yoksan, 2015) was to improve the properties of TPS-based materials by incorporating plasticized chitosan (CTS). TPS/CTS-based materials were prepared using a twin-screw extruder and then converted into a film by blown film extrusion.…”

A b s t r a c t. This paper presents the results covering the mechanical properties of thermoplastic potato starch granules with flax, cellulose fibre, and pine bark addition. A modified single screw extrusion-cooker TS-45 with L/D = 18 and an additional cooling section of the barrel was used as the processing unit. The establishment influence of the fibre addition, as well as the extrusion-cooker screw speed, on the mechanical properties of the thermoplastic starch granules was the main objective of the investigation. The maximum force during compression to 50% of the sample diameter, elastic modulus, and compression strength were evaluated. Significant differences were noted depending on the amount of fibre used, while only an insignificant influence of screw speed on the mechanical properties of the granulate was reported. An increased amount of fibres lowered the maximum force as well as the elastic modulus and compression strength of the thermoplastic starch granulates.
