BIODEGRADABLE COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING STARCH DERIVATIVES

摘要

There is provided a biodegradable composition as obtained from a melt comprising starch, a plasticizer and at least one member selected from alkenol homopolymers and/or alkenol copolymers which are combined under conditions sufficient to ensure uniform melt formation, characterized in that the at least one member is present in the composition at a concentration of from 10 to 120 parts per 100 parts of dry starch. The invention further relates to methods of making the composition, and to articles made from said composition.
