Wollastonite-filled and arabic gum-modified starch films. Part 1. Mechanical and structural properties

Kwasniewska A, Muszynski S, Tatarczak J, Gladyszewski G, Gladyszewska B

Biodegradable starch was filled with wollastonite, modified by addn. of Arabic gum (8-16% by mass) and used for prodn. of films by soln. casting. The films were studied for structural and mech. properties. The addn. of arabic gum resulted in an Increase in deformation limits and decrease in Young modulus.
