Abstract

Abstract Fully bio-based nanocomposites were prepared using starch nanoparticles obtained by acidic hydrolysis of waxy maize starch granules as reinforcement. The same type of starch, which contains 99 wt.% amylopectin, was used to prepare glycerol plasticized and unplasticized matrices. The X-ray diffraction pattern of the plasticized reinforced materials displays both A and B-type peaks, showing that the crystalline structure of the nanocrystals was not affected by processing. The storage modulus of the composite material increases, with respect to the unfilled film, by 470% at 50 °C, while the permeability increases by 70%. This is probably due to a good association of glycerol with the nanoparticles leading to a fibrillar structure, studied by scanning electron microscopy of plasticized and unplasticized composites.

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.
