Comparison of sorbitol and glycerol as plasticizers for thermoplastic starch in TPS/PLA blends
Open accessAbstract
This article investigates the structure and properties of thermoplastic starch/PLA blends where the TPS phase is plasticized by sorbitol, glycerol, and glycerol/sorbitol mixtures. The blends were prepared using a twin‐screw extruder where starch gelatinization, water removal, and dispersion of TPS into a PLA matrix were carried out sequentially. The plasticizers were added to starch in the first stage of the extruder to allow complete starch gelatinization. The PLA was added at mid‐extruder and thoroughly mixed with the TPS. The plasticizer concentration was varied from 30 to 42% and the TPS content was varied from 27 to 60% on a weight basis. In all investigated blends, the PLA formed the continuous phase and the TPS was the dispersed phase. The viscosity, blend morphology, tensile mechanical properties as well as the thermal properties of the materials were measured. It was found that the glycerol/sorbitol ratio has an important effect on the blend properties. Finer blend morphologies, higher tensile strength and modulus but lower crystallization rate were found for the sorbitol plasticized blends. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2011

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
