• TPS = Thermoplasticized starch

Project objectives

1. To review and compare the most important starch plasticization methods.
2. To recommend a reproducible way of preparation of highly homogeneous TPS.
3. To recommend reliable methods for evaluation of TPS homogeneity and properties.
4. To compare selected blends and composites with common TPS and highly-homogeneous TPS.
