Viability of Chemical Modification of Thermoplastic Starch with Citric Acid Through Reactive Extrusion

This study evaluates the feasibility of modifying thermoplastic starch using citric acid through extrusion processing. The samples were characterized by FTIR, TGA, XRD, and tensile testing. In the FTIR analysis, carbonyl group formation was observed, indicating esterification between the starch hydr...
