Biodegradability of Starch Based Films Blend with LLDPE and PVA

Abstract:

Biodegradability of films made from sago starch blend with PVA and LLDPE has been investigated. Blend films with different starch concentration were buried in the soil for 30 days for degradation test. FTIR and SEM have been performed on the film before and after degradation test to evaluate the biodegradability of the films. It was found that degradation rate increases with addition of starch into the blends.
