Edible and Biodegradable Starch Films: A Review (2012, background): “Some of these techniques are generally used with starch in combination with both natural and petroleum-derived polymers (Fishman et al. 2000; Kim and Lee 2002; Frost et al. 2011).”
The effect of citric acid on the structural properties and cytotoxicity of the polyvinyl alcohol/starch films when molding at high temperature (2008, unknown): “esterification, oxidation, etherification, cross-linking and methylation (Dermigoz et al., 2000; Kiatkamjornwong, Thakeow, & Sonsuk, 2001; Kim, 2003; Kim & Lee, 2002; Thakore, Desai, Sarawade, & Devi, 2001; Xu, Miladinov, & Hanna, 2004; Zhao et al., 2006), (2) physically modifying the SP composite”
PVA, PVA Blends, and Their Nanocomposites for Biodegradable Packaging Application (2017, background): “Although many bio-based polymers such as poly lactic acid (PLA) and aliphatic polyesters are categorised as biodegradable polymers, currently they are just employed in niche applications such as beverage cups and containers due to their less cost-effectiveness when compared to petro-based synthetic ”
Citric acid cross-linking of starch films (2010, methodology): “Films made using epichlorohydrin-cross-linked starch and polyethylene (1:1 ratio) had strength ranging from 12 to 15 MPa with varying amounts of epichlorohydrin (0.1–2%), compared to 24 MPa for the 5% citric acid cross-linked films (Kim & Lee, 2002).”
