Preparation and properties of thermoplastic sago (Metroxylon sagu Rottb.) starch using different plasticizers

This study aims to prepare thermoplastic material from sago starch and evaluate some of its properties namely: tensile strength at break, percentage water absorption and biodegradability. Sago starch was plasticized with glycerol (GLY), diethylene glycol (DEG) and propylene glycol (PG) at concentra...
