Effect of flax fibers addition on the mechanical properties and biodegradability of biocomposites based on thermoplastic starch

The research was intended to develop a biocomposite as an alternative biodegradable material, for the production of, e.g., disposable utensils. The author’s tested thermoplastic maize starch, both without additives and with the addition of crumbled fl ax fi ber in the share of 10, 20 and 30 wt%. The...
