Biodegradable and Water Resistant Poly(vinyl) Alcohol (PVA)/Starch (ST)/Glycerol (GL)/Halloysite Nanotube (HNT) Nanocomposite Films for Sustainable Food Packaging (2019, background): “It was well reported that increasing the ST content could improve the biodegradation rate of PVA/ST blends in a linear manner (Jayasekara et al., 2003; Azahari et al., 2011; Tanase et al., 2015).”
PVA, PVA Blends, and Their Nanocomposites for Biodegradable Packaging Application (2017, background): “In a similar manner, Azahari et al.([124]) found that both tensile strength and elongation at break decreased linearly with increasing the starch content in PVA/starch blends”
Corn and Rice Starch-Based Bio-Plastics as Alternative Packaging Materials (2019, background): “Biodegradable plastics are made from starch, cellulose, chitosan, and protein extracted from renewable biomass [4].”
