Starch-based completely biodegradable polymer materials

Open access

Abstract

Starch is a natural polymer which possesses many unique properties and some shortcoming simultaneously.Some synthetic polymers are biodegradable and can be tailor-made easily.Therefore, by combining the individual advantages of starch and synthetic polymers, starch-based completely biodegradable polymers (SCBP) are potential for applications in biomedical and environmental fields.Therefore it received great attention and was extensively investigated.In this paper, the structure and characteristics of starch and some synthetic degradable polymers are briefly introduced.Then, the recent progress about the preparation of SCBP via physical blending and chemical modification is reviewed and discussed.At last, some examples have been presented to elucidate that SCBP are promising materials for various applications and their development is a good solution for reducing the consumption of petroleum resources and environmental problem.

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.
