Compatibilization in bio-based and biodegradable polymer blends
TL;DR: In this paper, the distinction between degradation and biodegradation of biopolymers is discussed and the importance of their importance for practice is also discussed, as well as several examples of various approaches and their outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Poly (lactic acid) blends: Processing, properties and applications.
TL;DR: This article compares the syntheses/processing-morphology-properties interrelationships in PLA-based blends developed so far for various applications and considers favorably for biomedical applications and as the most promising substitute for petroleum-based polymers in a wide range of commodity and engineering applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combination of Poly(lactic) Acid and Starch for Biodegradable Food Packaging
TL;DR: The main characteristics of PLA and starch in terms of not only the barrier and mechanical properties of their films but also of their combinations, by using blending or multilayer strategies, have been analyzed, identifying components or processes that favor the polymer compatibility and the good performance of the combined materials.

Properties of thermoplastic starch from cassava bagasse and cassava starch and their blends with poly (lactic acid)
E. M. Teixeira,Antônio Aprígio da Silva Curvelo,Ana Carolina Corrêa,José Manoel Marconcini,Gregory M. Glenn,Luiz H. C. Mattoso +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the results showed the feasibility of obtaining thermoplastic starches from cassava bagasse and the presence of fiber in the bagasse acted as reinforce- ment in the TPS matrix and increased the maximum tensile strength.

Denitrification performance and microbial diversity in a packed-bed bioreactor using biodegradable polymer as carbon source and biofilm support.
TL;DR: The results showed that the average denitrification rate was 0.64 ± 0.06 kg N/(m(3)d), and NH3-N formation (below 1mg/L) was observed during denitification, and an initial excess release of DOC could be caused by rapid biodegradation of starch in the surfaces of SPCL granules, then it decreased to 10.08 mg/L.
