Towards the Hydrophobization of Thermoplastic Starch Using Fatty Acid Starch Ester as Additive
To bring surface hydrophobicity to thermoplastic starch (TPS) materials for food packaging, fatty acid starch esters (FASE), specifically starch tri-laurate, were incorporated into TPS formulations. A total of three different ratios of FASE (2%, 5% and 10%) were added to the TPS formulation to evalu...
