摘要
Two different thermoplastic starches (TPS), namely maleic anhydride grafted starch (MA-g-starch) and epoxidized cardanol grafted starch (Epicard-g-starch), were successfully prepared by chemical modification without the addition of any plasticizer. The structure and properties were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), hot press testing, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and contact angle meter, respectively. Results from XRD showed that the highly crystalline structure of native starch was destroyed after modification. Continuous phase was obtained from both of the chemically modified starches after hot pressing at 130 degrees C, indicating that they have good thermoplasticity. Subsequently, they were melt-blended with PLA. It was found that the Epicard-g-starch had a much finer dispersed phase size than MA-g-starch in PLA matrix due to its better hydrophobicity. As a result, the mechanical properties of PLA/Epicard-g-starch blend were superior to those of PLA/MA-g-starch blend. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
