Abstract

The interaction of crystalline and amorphous amylopectin with the plasticisers glycerol and ethylene glycol in the absence of water was studied with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and solid state NMR. At room temperature glycerol interacts mainly with the amorphous regions, while for ethylene glycol the amylopectin crystallinity does not effect the interaction. After heating the mixtures, an additional immobilisation of the plasticiser occurs.
