Prep aration and prope rties of bi odegradab le starch – ZnO nanocompo sites

Increased use of synthetic pac kaging film s has led to serious ecological prob lems due to their total non-biodegradability. In recent years there ha s been a growing interest in the u se of biode gradable polymers for p ackaging ma terials in order to reduce the environmental pollution cause d by plasti c wastes [۱ , ۲]. In this study, w e prepared well-dispersed starch–ZnO nanocomposite. The structure and morph ology of the nanocompo site was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and film propertie s such as w ater absorbtion, mechanical and thermal prope rties were also measured .
