composites become more biodegradable and leave less recalcitrant residues. Often‚ starch-based polymers are blended with high-performance polymers (e.g. aliphatic polyesters and polyvinyl alcohols) to achieve the necessary performance properties for different applications. Starch may offer a substitute for petroleum based plastics. Starch is a renewable degradable carbohydrate biopolymer that can be purified from various sources by environmentally sound processes. Starch‚ by itself‚ has severe
