Characterization, biodegradation and cytotoxicity of thermoplastic starch and ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer blends

Ethylene-vinyl alcohol samples containing 27 and 38 % ethylene were used to prepare blends containing 30 and 50 % thermoplastic starch (TPS) plasticized with glycerol. Their biodegradability and cytotoxicity were studied by different techniques (XRD, DSC, TGA, CA, ATR-FTIR, SEM). TPS presence signif...
