In-vitro degradation behaviour of starch/EVOH biomaterials

Blends of corn starch with poly(ethylene–vinyl alcohol) copolymer (SEVA-C) were aged up to 120 days on NaCl sterile isotonic solution (9 g/l) and the degradation solutions were analysed by several techniques. Mechanical properties (i.e. strength, stiffness and ductility), weight loss, and water upta...
