Biodegradable Carbon-based Ashes/Maize Starch Composite Films for Agricultural Applications

Biodegradable Carbon-based Ashes/Maize Starch Composite Films for Agricultural Applications

The aim of this work is the development and characterization of biodegradable thermoplastic recycled carbon ashes/maize starch (TPAS) composite films for agricultural applications. A proper plasticizer, that is, glycerol, was added to a commercial maize starch in an amount of 35 wt.%. Carbon-based a...
