Effect of starch ratio and compatibilization on the viscoelastic behavior of POE/starch blends

In this research, polyolefin elastomers (POE)/starch blends were prepared using an internal mixer with 0 to 55 wt% starch content, and MAH was added into POE/starch blend to prepare a composite that improves its biodegradation, while tuning the viscoelastic behavior and morphology. The effect of the composition and the compatibilizer addition on properties, such as morphology, rheology, and the creep behavior, was investigated. The observations...
