Reinforcement of Thermoplastic Corn Starch with Crosslinked Starch/Chitosan Microparticles
Microparticles of corn starch and chitosan crosslinked with glutaraldehyde, produced by the solvent exchange technique, are studied as reinforcement fillers for thermoplastic corn starch plasticized with glycerol. The presence of 10% w/w chitosan in the microparticles is shown to be essential to gua...
