Abstract
AbstractThermogravimetric analysis as a technique for rapid determination of starch content in LDPE/starch blend films was investigated. The percent weight loss in a specified temperature range, under a constant heating rate, correlated well with the starch content of films in the range of 0–12 wt % starch, as determined by chemical analysis. The method was used to estimate the residual starch content of LDPE/starch films, containing approximately 6.0% starch, exposed under several biotic exposure conditions. Generally 87–88% of the initial starch content was present in the films after different types of environmental exposures.
