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 99wt.% 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...
Biofilms based on waxy maize and cassava starches (cereal and tuber starch, respectively), plasticized with glycerol were characterized through their crystallinity, dynamic-mechanical behavior (DMA), thermal degradation (TGA), moisture content and water vapor permeability (WVP). X-ray diffraction experiments show that both materials were mainly amorphous, with the waxy starch presenting a discreetly...
