Starch in Rubber Based Blends and Micro Composites

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Rubber Based Bionanocomposites

Part of the book series: Advanced Structured Materials ((STRUCTMAT,volume 56))

Abstract

In this chapter, we will report the most recent investigations on modification of starch and their application as reinforcing filler in rubber composites. First, we will give a brief introduction on the characteristics of native starch, e.g., chemical structure, amylose content, morphology and crystallinity. Then, a brief review on different treatments used for starch modification, including gelatinization, plasticization, nanoparticles fabrication, and chemical grafting will be carried out. Finally, in order to prepare high performance starch reinforced rubber composites, three primary strategies reported so far, including (1) the addition of coupling agent, (2) modification of starch and (3) modification of rubber matrix will be highlighted.
