TL;DR: Amelioration de la formulation de paillages plastiques biodegradables par addition d'urees et de polyols a des melanges amidon-copolymeres d'acide acrylique et d'ethylene as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Baked starch foams were characterized by several physical methods in order to better understand the relationship between process parameters and starch foam structure as discussed by the authors, showing that foam density and strength increase with increasing starch concentration, molecular weight and amylose content.

TL;DR: Starch-containing polymer compositions are prepared which absorb amounts of water equaling up to more than 1000 times their own weight as mentioned in this paper, and these compositions find many applications including their incorporation into products such as disposable diapers, surgical pads and sheets, and paper towels.

TL;DR: Water-insoluble starch xanthates were prepared by xanthation of highly crosslinked starches under various conditions as discussed by the authors, and their properties were determined by isolation of the products by solvent dehydration, freeze drying, or spray drying.
