Overview

This approach significantly improves mechanical properties and biodegradability in thermoplastic starch, indicating potential in packaging.

Key Points

  • The addition of succinic anhydride enhances TPS tensile strength to 5.54 MPa, approximately 30 times that without it.
  • This method improves water resistance by increasing the water contact angle from 42.6° to 75.2°.
  • The TPS material shows 85.5% mass loss after 40 days of soil burial, outperforming many biodegradable polymers.
  • The approach offers a promising strategy for developing eco-friendly packaging and agricultural materials.
