Biodegradable polymers are desirable for a variety of applications, such as in packaging, agriculture, and medicine. Polyethylene (PE) blended with starch is already found to be a potential candidate to replace nondegradable thermoplastics in the areas of packaging. Films of polyethylene (PE)-starch
## Abstract Moisture‐sorption characteristics of starch/low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) blends were carried out at 27°C for water activity (__a__~__w__~) from 0.1 to 0.9. The sorption data were used to fit six different sorption isotherm models proposed in the literature. The model constants were d
The biodegradability of low density polyethylene (LDPE)/starch and LDPE/ starch/starch acetate (STAc) blends was tested and observed to be dependent on STAc content. The binary and ternary blends containing up to a maximum concentration of 30% starch were examined for their thermal, mechanical, and
