• Starch/PVA-based nanocomposites reinforced with bamboo nanofibrils (2015, background): “Previous studies (Frost et al., 2011; Han et al., 2009; Tudorachi et al., 2000) also showed good compatibility between cassava starch and PVA due to the high presence of hydrogen bonding energy in both polymers.”
• Starch-based completely biodegradable polymer materials (2009, background): “The biodegradability of blends consisting of starch, PVA, glycerol and urea is performed by bacteria and fungi isolated from the activated sludge of a municipal sewage plant and landfill, which indicate that microorganisms consumed starch and the amorphous region of PVA as well as the plasticizers [”
• Controlled-release fertilizer encapsulated by starch/polyvinyl alcohol coating (2009, background): “The mechanical properties and biodegradability of starch/PVA blend films have been reported by researchers [7,8].”
