Thermal properties of thermoplastic starch composites reinforced with pehuen husk showed the potential of this bioliber as an excellent reinforcement for composite materials. TPS composites showed a good interaction between the fibers and the plasticized starch matrix due to the natural affinity between husk and starch in the pehuen seed. TPS/PLA/PV A blend showed partial miscibility or co-continuous phase and TPS/PLA/PV A composites presented also discontinuities at the biofiber-polymeric matrix interface. The incorporation of biofiber improved the thermal stability of the composites, increasing the initial decomposition temperature. The biofiber hinders the out-dififusion of the volatile molecules (e.g., glycerol), retarding the decomposition process of starch composites. On the other hand, the degree of crystallinity of composites decreases when pehuen husk content increases (Castano et al. 2012). [Pg.456]

Starch can be destructurized in combination with different synthetic polymers to satisfy a broad spectrum of market needs. Thermoplastic starch composites can reach starch contents higher than 50%. [Pg.110]

Otey has studied EAA (ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer)/ thermoplastic starch composites since 1977 [95-106] and has demonstrated that the addition of ammonium hydroxide to EAA makes it compatible with starch. Urea, in these formulations, enhances the film tear propagation resistance and reduces ageing phenomena due to segmental motions in amorphous starch [107,108]. The films obtained with a content of plasticized starch of about 50% showed good tensile properties (Table 6.1) [101]. The sensitivity to environmental... [Pg.119]

The impact properties of injection-moulded Mater-Bi (R) were increased by 30% when the matrix was reinforced with miscanthus fibres (Johnson et al, 2003). Key factors in determining composite properties were the temperature of the extruder barrel and the extruder screw speed. A summary of plant fibre-thermoplastic starch composite mechanical properties is presented in Table 8.4. [Pg.206]
