Bio-Degradable Sheets

A study on biodegradable sheet: A blend of Corn Starch and Chitosan- An alternative to conventional plastics, was carried out by compression moulding method, incorporating thermoplastic chitosan in thermoplastic Corn Starch matrix, using glycerol, citric acid, and water. Functional properties like Tensile strength, Elongation at break % and biodegradability properties were studied. . A blend of corn starch & chitosan an alternative to conventional plastics The sheets were made in two different proportions, T1 and T2 with varying composition of Corn Starch
