## Abstract Nanocomposites films have been processed from a filler and a matrix having the same nature, i.e. waxy maize starch. The filler consists of nanoplateletβlike starch particles obtained as an aqueous suspension by acid hydrolysis of starch granules and the matrix was prepared by plasticiza

## Abstract Native corn starchβ and hydroxypropylated starch (HPSβ) based plastic films were prepared using the short pulp fiber as the reinforcement and the glycerol as the plasticizer. Starch (or HPS) films showed different Xβray diffraction patterns with the Aβtype of native corn starch powder.
Potato and waxy-maize starches were separately modified for 1 h at 65" with 0.36% hydrochloric acid in methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, and 1-butanol. All of the modified starches were readily soluble in hot water, to give crystal-clear solutions up to a concentration of at least 20% (w/v). The modifi
