Properties of thermoplastic blends: starch–polycaprolactone
Open accessAbstract
Different compositions of wheat thermoplastic starch (TPS) and polycaprolactone (PCL) are melt blended by extrusion and injected. Different properties are determined: mechanical properties (tensile and impact tests), thermal and thermomechanical properties (DSC and DMTA) and hydrophobicity (contact angle measurement). A large range of blends is analysed with different glycerol (plasticizer):starch contents ratios (0.14:0.54) and various PCL concentrations (up to 40 wt.%). From the behaviour of each polymeric system, it is possible to analyse the relationship properties of each component proportion on the blends. The ageing of the system is studied and shows a structural evolution of the material after injection during several weeks. We have noticed a fairly low compatibility between both polymeric systems. Finally, the addition of PCL to TPS matrix allows to overcome the weakness of pure TPS: low resilience, high moisture sensitivity and high shrinkage, even at low PCL concentration, e.g. 10 wt.%.

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.
