Starch-Based Nanocomposites: Types and Industrial Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Bio-based Polymers and Nanocomposites

Abstract

The extraordinary physicochemical and functional features offered by the starch material segregated from various sources of plants, such as rice, corn and wheat, are put into use for a large extent of applications. The physicochemical features of starch namely lipids content, a ratio of amylose to amylopectin, the size distribution of granule play a significant role to grasp the concept related to the mechanism on the functionality of starch in various systems. The starch-modified chemistry along with a large number of reactive sites carries the biologically active compounds as biocompatible carriers and are metabolized in the human body quickly and comfortably. The current chapter focusses on the different composites made up of starch along with polymers like polylactic acid, polycaprolactone, polyhydroxy alkaloid where the synthesis, chemistry and application part are greatly discussed. Further, the physicochemical stability of the nanocomposites relating the specific structure is compared in addition to their deployment in various industrial applications.
