Polycaprolactone (PCL) was grafted onto starch through introduction of urethane linkages. The grafting reaction was carried out in two steps. The first step was the reaction of hydroxyl-terminated PCL with 2,4-tolylene diisocyanate. The isocyanate terminated PCL was then reacted with starch to obtai

This study's aim was to evaluate the effect of processing conditions on the morphology and enzymatic degradation of 50/50 (w/w) thermoplastic starch-polycaprolactone blends. The blends, produced from native potato starch, glycerol, and polycaprolactone in a melt mixer using different mixing speeds a
## Abstract The mechanical, thermal, and morphological properties of polycaprolactone (PCL) and green coconut fiber (GCF) composites were evaluated. Blends containing acrylic acidβgrafted PCL (PCLβ__g__βAA/GCF) exhibited noticeably better mechanical properties due to better compatibility between th
