Abstract
Results on some physical properties and on melt processing of a starch-based polymer under steady-state shearing are presented. A peculiar microstructure involving a strong pseudoplastic behavior at high shear rates as well as yield stress at lower ones is discussed. A model is proposed to explain the characteristic viscoelastic behavior of this material based on hydrophylic and hydrophobic interactions between starch and vinyl-alcohol copolymers.
