Thermoplastic Starch Films Added with Dry Nopal (<i>Opuntia Ficus Indica</i>) Fibers

Dry fibers coming from garden waste, originating from <i>Opuntia ficus indica</i>, were introduced in amounts of either 8 or 16 wt % into a self-produced thermoplastic starch (TPS) based on potato starch and glycerol. Thermal (differential scanning calorimetry, DSC), mechanical (tensile...
