POLYMER BASE BLEND COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING DESTRUCTURIZED STARCH

摘要

A composition of matter capable of being formed into articles having substantial dimensional stability comprising a) destructurized starch, and b) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of polymers and copolymers which contain carboxylic groups which partially or wholly are present in the form of their salts and wherein said polymers or copolymers do not contain further functional groups, said polymers and copolymers being present in an amount effective to enhance the physical properties of said articles. The composition may contain further conventional additives as well as hydrophobic, substantially water insoluble polymers.
