Use of a mixture of starch and polyvinylalcohol.

摘要

50 to 95 parts by weight starch and 5 to 50 parts by weight polyvinyl alcohol with a degree of saponification between 87 and 100% are thoroughly mixed and furthermore the moisture content of the mixture is regulated between 10 and 25 weight %. Subsequently the mixture obtained is subjected to a thermo-mechanical treatment at a temperature situated between 110 and 180 DEG C. During the extrusion the mixture is subjected to shearing forces so that the product obtained when it is dispersed in cold water and subsequently is centrifuged, divides into a watery phase and a coacervate phase without a sediment of undissolved polyvinyl alcohol being formed.
