Abstract:Bioplastics are plastics that can be used like conventional plastics but can be more easily decomposed in the soil. Studies have been conducted to determine the effect of temperature variations in the gelatinization of porang starch on the manufacture of bioplastics with sorbitol plasticizers on their characterization. In this study, bioplastics have been produced which are made with variations in the composition of starch: chitosan (30:70) %, (40:60) %, (50:50) %, (60:40) %, and (70:30) % with the addition of… Show more
