## Abstract Blends of starch and zein plasticized with glycerol were prepared by melting in a batch mixer at 160Β°C. Glycerol was used as plasticizer in contents ranging from 20 to 40 wt % with respect to the starch/zein matrix. These blends were characterized by mechanical tests, dynamic mechanical
## Abstract **Summary:** Acetyl triethyl citrate (ATC) was used as a plasticizer for poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/starch blends coupled with maleic anhydride and an initiator of 2,5βbis(__tert__βbutylperoxy)β2,5βdimethylhexane (L101). Elongation of the blend at break was markedly increased when the ATC
