The thermal behaviour and phase morphology of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and starch acetate (SA) blends have been studied by di β erential scanning calorimetry, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and polarizing optical microscopy. PHB/SA blends were immisc
## Abstract Low density openβcell foams were obtained from polylactic acid (PLA) and from blends of PLA with thermoplastic starch (TPS) using CO~2~ as a blowing agent. Two unexpected features were found. First, a 2D cavitation process in the fractured cell walls was unveiled. Elliptical cavities wi
## Abstract Two different biodegradable polyesters [polycaprolactone (PCL) and poly(3βhydroxybutyrate__βcoβ__valerate) (PHBV)] were blended with a maize starch that had high amylose content through the use different reactive approaches. The compatibilization of both systems was obtained. PCL/starch
## Abstract Blends of poly(Lβlactide) (PLA), containing from 5, 15, or 25 wt % potato starch, unmodified or hydrophobized in methane plasma, were prepared and studied. To enhance the drawability of the blends, the plasticization of PLA with 10 wt % poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) was also employed. Th
