Biodegradable polymers by reactive blending trans-esterification of thermoplastic starch with poly(vinyl acetate) and poly(vinyl acetate-co-butyl acrylate)

Wheat starch was reacted with poly(vinyl acetate) and with poly(vinyl acetate-co-butyl acrylate) in an internal mixer at 150 °C in the absence of catalyst, and in the presence of sodium carbonate, zinc-acetate and titanium(IV) butoxide. The resulted blends were pressed into film and characterized by...
