## Abstract The use of biodegradable materials to develop polymeric blends visioning distinct applications is desirable and nowadays is an important research field. In this work, blends of an ethyleneβvinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) and 30, 50, and 70% in weight of an unmodified corn starch have been

## Abstract The aim of this study was to improve the mechanical properties of thermoplastic starch foams prepared from cassava starch blended with natural rubber latex by reactive blending. Potassium persulfate was used as an initiator for graft copolymerization between the starch and natural rubbe
## Abstract The mechanical response of integralβskin rigid polyurethane foam, with an average density of 300 to 700 kg/m^3^, to constant rate and creep loading was determined. Sandwich specimens were modeled by layers of a core material and two skins, whose secant moduli had been determined experim
