As a renewable and native polymeric material, thermoplastic starch is gaining increased acceptance because of resource and environment concerns. This study reports the formulation design of native starch/polyvinyl alcohol (PVAl) compounds; the preparation technology to make them available for thermo

The blending of thermoplastic starch (TPS) with other biodegradable polyesters such as polyesteramide could be an interesting way to produce new biodegradable starch-based materials. Different mixes of wheat starch and polyesteramide (BAK) were melt blended by extrusion. After pelletization, granule
## Abstract Increasing interest in competitive, sustainable, and biodegradable alternatives to petroleumβbased plastics has encouraged the developmentof proteinβbased plastics. The formation of a homogeneous protein melt during extrusion occurs through: denaturation, dissociation, unraveling, and a
Thermoplastic toughening of epoxy resins has been actively studied since the early 1980s with considerable progress in property improvement and understanding having been made since then. The main advantage in using thermoplastics to toughen epoxy resins is that their incorporation need not result in
