Modification of Sago Starch and Polyvinyl Alcohol Blends by Irradiation for the Production Of Biodegradable Foams And Foam Trays
Electron beam irradiation induced cross-linking in aqueous PVA and PVP but caused degradation in aqueous sago starch. Sago starch/PVP blends were more readily cross-linked than sago starch/PVA blends. The gel strength of both blends was increased when the irradiation dose was increased due to the cr...
