Request a QuoteStarch-based resin is a thermoplastic material with inherent biodegradability, offering sustainable alternatives to conventional plastics. The starch can be processed thermoplastically without requiring any modification as long as the formulation has a reasonable amount of water.
The biodegradability of starch-based materials is attributed to oxygen atoms present in the molecular structure's main chain and ring components, which facilitate natural decomposition processes.
Features
Thermoplastic Processing
Can be processed thermoplastically without requiring any modification when formulated with a reasonable amount of water.
Inherent Biodegradability
Natural decomposition enabled by oxygen atoms in the molecular structure's main chain and ring components.
Enhanced Formulations
Researchers employ compatibilizers, chemical modifications, and plasticizers like glycerol and amino acids to enhance properties and processability.
