PVA, PVA Blends, and Their Nanocomposites for Biodegradable Packaging Application (2017, methodology): “PVA/starch Solution casting 1,4-Butanediol, mannitol, pentaerythritol, xylitol and 1,2,6-hexanetriol [33]”
Isolation, characterization, and application of nanocellulose from oil palm empty fruit bunch fiber as nanocomposites (2014, background): “Tang and Alavi [6] mentioned that both starch and polyvinyl alcohol are polar substances that have hydroxyl groups in their chemical structure, which are able to form intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bond.”
Biodegradable and Water Resistant Poly(vinyl) Alcohol (PVA)/Starch (ST)/Glycerol (GL)/Halloysite Nanotube (HNT) Nanocomposite Films for Sustainable Food Packaging (2019, methodology): “Such blends belong to a widespread material system used in numerous applications such as biomedical engineering and material packaging (Tang and Alavi, 2011; Luo et al., 2012; Tanase et al., 2015; Wang et al., 2015; Zanela et al., 2015).”
Rheology to understand and optimize processibility, structures and properties of starch polymeric materials (2012, background): “15 Although starch polymers and their processing have already been well reviewed in 16 several papers [1,3-10], the rheological behaviour and the analysis of the rheology17 processing relationships has not been a focus.”
