Mechanical Behavior of Thermoplastic Starch: Rationale for the Temperature-Relative Humidity Equivalence

Mechanical Behavior of Thermoplastic Starch: Rationale for the Temperature-Relative Humidity Equivalence

This paper aimed at understanding and rationalizing the influence of both temperature and relative humidity on the mechanical behavior of thermoplastic starch (TPS). DMA experiments revealed that water molecules impact the crosslinking network by reducing the intermolecular hydrogen bond density, re...
