Preparation and Performance Evaluation of LDPE/Rice Starch Blend Composites by Extrusion Method
Abstract: Discarding synthetic polymers such as low-density polyethylene (LDPE) used in food packaging ingredients is today considered a serious ecological threat because they are non-decomposable. The goal of this article is to create a decomposable polymer by incorporating a bio-polymer (starch) into its polymeric matrix. This article focuses on the preparation and characterization of rice starch (RS)-mixed LDPE decomposable polymer. In the first study, the effect of variability of RS content …
