THERMOPLASTIC STARCH COMPOSITION DERIVES FROM AGRICULTURAL WASTE

摘要

A thermoplastic starch composition acquired from compounding a mixture comprises starch-containing agricultural waste in 45 to 70 pcnt by weight of total composition that the agricultural waste contains starch content less than 50 pcnt in dry weight; thermoplastic synthetic polymer in 25 to 50 pcnt by weight of total composition; plasticizer in 1 to 10 pcnt by weight of total composition; and coupling agent in 1 to 5 pcnt by weight of total composition; wherein the compounding is performed at a first temperature which is higher than room temperature.
