Novel In Situ Modification for Thermoplastic Starch Preparation based on <i>Arenga pinnata</i> Palm Starch

Thermoplastic starch (TPS) has three main disadvantages, i.e., poor mechanical properties, low thermal stability and water sensibility. To overcome these disadvantages, TPS properties can be improved by starch modification, adding reinforcements and blending with other polymers. In this research, to...
