Properties of compression moulding starch - nanoclay biocomposites

Most of the thermoplastic starch (TPS) is prepared via extruding machine and hot pressing method. The traditional thermoplastic starch was plasticized by water. This blend however, produces a brittle and lower strength of samples [1]. Glycerol and acylamide were among the plasticizers used to improv...
