Plasticized Waxy Maize Starch: Effect of Polyols and Relative Humidity on Material Properties

Mathew, Aji P., Dufresne, Alain·2002·Biomacromolecules

Abstract

The plasticizing effect of different polyols such as glycerol, xylitol, sorbitol, and maltitol on waxy maize starch was investigated. The concentration of plasticizer was fixed at 33 wt % (dry basis of starch). The structure and mechanical performance of resulting films conditioned at different relative humidity levels were studied in detail. The effect of the plasticizer on the glass-rubber transition temperature (T(g)) and crystallinity was characterized using differential scanning calorimetry. It was found that T(g) decreases with increasing moisture content and decreasing molecular weight of the plasticizer. The water resistance of starch increased steadily with the molecular weight of the plasticizer and was directly proportional to the ratio of the end to total hydroxyl groups. As the molecular weight of the plasticizer increased, the brittleness of the dry system increased. However, the use of high molecular plasticizer allowed good mechanical properties of the moist material to be obtained in terms of both stiffness and elongation at break.

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.
