Abstract: | Conventional plastics has a
large impact in increasing the environment’s pollution. That’s
why the interest has turned towards novel partially and completely biodegradable
polymers. In this work, blends of polystyrene and thermoplastic starch with
glycerol and Buriti (Mauritia flexuosa
L.) oil as plasticizers were prepared. Samples were analyzed using TG/DTG
and DSC techniques. The TG results indicated that the blends with Buriti oil
are thermally more stable than those with glycerol. The DSC analysis that
Buriti oil provides a higher degree of plasticization of PS, compared to the
blends plasticized using glycerol under the studied conditions. |
