Preparation and properties of thermoplastic starch-Ti0₂-Al₂O₃ nanocomposite

In this study, preparation and properties of thermoplastic starch-Ti0₂-Al₂0₃ nanocomposite was conducted. Cassava was used as thermoplastic starch (TPS) and was plasticized with glycerol with ratio of 70/30. Then, TPS was internal mixed with Ti0₂ and Al₂0₃ by compositions of TPS-3 wt.% Ti0₂- 2 wt.%...
