| Abstract: | Potato starch has great processability and formamide could provide excellent plasticization. Consequently, potato starch was modified into formamide pseudo-thermoplastic potato starch (FTPP) films in this study. For the evaluation of the optimum preparation on FTPP, we focus on analysis of the plasticizers effect and properties. The results show that the strength and elongation of FTPP-20 film were respectively 29.7 MPa and 6.7%, the melting temperature (129.8°C), melting heat (270.3 J/g), degradation temperature (295.0°C), and the characterization were better than plasticized potato starch with glycerol. It is advantageous on the production and application for the biodegradable materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
