Gelatinized and nongelatinized corn starch/ poly(epsilon-caprolactone) blends: characterization by rheological, mechanical and morphological properties
Poly(epsilon-caprolactone)/corn starch blends containing 25, 50 and 75 wt.% starch were prepared by mechanical processing and characterized by the melt flow index (MFI), tensile test and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). For comparison, starch was used in gelatinized and nongelatinized forms and w...
