“…The presence of a large number of hydroxyl groups gives TPS poor water resistance (Müller, Yamashita, & Laurindo, 2008). To improve the property, other synthetic biodegradable polymers may be blended with TPS (Chang, 2000;Maliger, McGlashan, Halley, & Matthew, 2006;Wang, Shogren, & Carriere, 2000;Wang, Yu, & Ma, 2007), and the starch can be chemically modified (Biswas et al, 2008;Bodil & Bengt, 2002;Hank, Ewan, Marianne, Roper, & Robert, 2007;Kapusnia & Siemion, 2006).…”
