ETHYLENE VINYL ACETATE AND THERMOPLASTIC STARCH BLEND NANOCOMPOSITES WITH IMPROVED MECHANICAL AND BIODEGRADABLE PROPERTIES

摘要

ABSTRACT This invention relates to cost-effective biodegradable and biocompatible ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA)/thermoplastic starch (TPS) blend nanocomposites wherein these nanocomposites of the present invention have improved mechanical and biodegradable properties. The present invention also relates to a process for preparing these nanocomposites by melt intercalation. A much more favourable and cost-effective biodegradable and biocompatible ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA)Ahermoplastic starch (TPS) blend nanocomposites are disclosed in the present invention
