Abstract

This paper reviews the state of the art in the field of the rheology of starch polymers, including specially designed rheometric techniques and complex rheology as influenced by different conditions. In terms of rheometric techniques, off-line extruder-type capillary/slit rheometers are commonly used but subsequent changes during measurement often occur as starch structures are highly sensitive to thermomechanical treatment. An in-line rheometer set-up with a double-channel die incorporated to the processing extruder is a direct and effective method to minimize the processing history change at different testing shear rates. In addition, pre-shearing, multipass, and mixer-type rheometers are also suitable for starch polymers. The rheological behavior of starch polymeric materials can be greatly impacted by their formulation (botanical source, plasticizer and additive type and content, and the structure related to blend or composite) and processing conditions (temperature, mechanical energy, etc.). Starch polymer melts exhibit shear-thinning and extension-thinning behaviors, and shows strong elastic properties. A wide range of rheological models, considering formulation and processing conditions, have been reviewed for different multiphase systems. The rheological behavior can also be related to the compatibility (blends, composites), expansion/foaming properties, film blowing properties, etc. The significance of processing rheology of starch polymers lies in characterizing the complex melting and flow behaviors, characterizing the viscoelastic properties, determining optimal processing method and conditions, and better controlling the quality of the final products.

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.
