CARBOHYDRATE CHEMISTRY

摘要

Development of biodegradable flexible films of starch and poly(lactic acid) plasticized with adipate or citrate, M.A. Shirai et al, Carbohydrate Polymers, 92(1). Biodegradable films were produced from blends contained a high amount of thermoplastic starch and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) plasticised with different adipate or citrate esters. Adipate esters were the most effective plasticisers because they interacted best with the PLA and yielded films with appropriate mechanical properties.
