Starch Based Rubber Nanocomposites (original) (raw)

Starch is a popular natural biodegradable polymer which has created a special feature for rubber nanocomposite due to their biodegradable, renewable and biocompatible nature. In this chapter, we focus the various techniques for preparation of rubber nanocomposite are compared. The characterization techniques of starch based rubber are discussed. He thermal, biodegradation rheology and mechanical properties of starch based rubber are explained from existing literature. This chapter may open a window to explore the idea of starch based bio-rubbers in various industrial applications.
