Microstructural Analyses of Biaxially Oriented Polylactide/Modified Thermoplastic Starch Film with Drastic Improvement in Toughness

Retrogradation and Antiplasticization of Thermoplastic Starch

Petrochemical-based plastics are widely used in modern society due to their high effective mechanical and barrier properties (Farris et al., 2009; Siracusa et al., 2008). However, petrochemical-based plastics have become an environmental concern as they are not biodegradable or recyclable. Replacing the petrochemical-based polymers with biopolymers which are renewable has become an attractive i...

Biaxially oriented CaF2 films on amorphous substrates

Biaxially oriented CaF2 films have been created by first using an oblique incidence vapor flux to deposit CaF2 onto an amorphous surface to form vertically aligned nanorods which served as seeds to grow a more continuous CaF2 capping layer under a subsequent normal incidence flux deposition. The entire film possesses a unique {111}/121S biaxial texture as shown by X-ray pole figure analysis and...

Microstructural Studies of Pasta and Starch Pasta

The processing methods for mung bean starch noodles were used to form “starch pasta” from various isolated wheat starches. The objective of this research was to evaluate the changes in the surface and internal structure of pasta and “starch pasta” made from various flours and wheat starch before and after cooking. Cooked “starch pasta” revealed a honeycomb-like internal structure similar to coo...
