About this document
Starch Plasticization with Mixed Additives by Duy Hoang is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This manuscript investigates the physical properties of thermoplastic starch (TPS) plasticized by a mixture of glycerol and urea. The study highlights the effects of plasticizer composition on mechanical properties, gelation temperature, and overall performance of TPS, noting that urea enhances tensile strength significantly compared to glycerol alone. The findings suggest that optimizing plasticizer mixtures can improve the applicability of starch as a sustainable plastic material.
