Composite materials based on chitosan/amidoximated starch beads and CaCO3

CaCO3blowing agent mixing method for biomass composites improved buffer packaging performance

“…CaCO 3 , which is a low-cost inorganic compound abundantly found in nature, has been used as a nucleating agent in polyethylene, polypropylene to prepare foamed materials. 20,21 However, nucleating agents used as petroleum-based materials were mostly, it is more used as ller to improve the materials performance when biomass foam materials were applied. Among the many natural polymer materials, starch was proven to combine well with CaCO 3 .…”

“…Among the many natural polymer materials, starch was proven to combine well with CaCO 3 . 21 So it is feasible to mix it with starch containing foaming agent.…”
