Thermoplastic starch (TPS)-based composite films for wastewater treatment: synthesis and fundamental characterization

Abstract Modification of starch is a potential basic research aiming to improve its water barrier properties. The general purpose of this study is to manufacture cross-linked iodinated starch citrate (ISC) with a degree of substitution (DS) ≈ 0.1 by modifying native corn starch with citric acid in t...
