Study on the effect of plasticizer (Fructose) on the properties of Glutaraldehyde modified starch

Starch is renewable material obtained from the plant resources such as maize, wheat or potato harvest. Starch is easy to obtain and can be obtained with a low cost. Thermoplastic starch was produced to replace the use of synthetic polymers in order to preserve the environment as thermoplastic starch...
