Enhancement of thermal stability, UV barrier, biodegradability, and moisture resistance of potato starch–agar bioplastics using biogenic TiO2 nanoparticles

This study evaluated the influence of biogenically synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) on the structure, properties, and biodegradability of bioplastics made from potato starch and agar. TiO2 NPs (13.41 ± 1.0 nm, crystalline structure confirmed by X-ray diffraction) were incorporated at 0.674 %, 0....
