A STUDY ON THE PROPERTIES OF STARCH GLYCERINE BLEND/

In this paper. the mechanical and rheological properties, and the micr ostructure of the starch-glycerine blend prepared by a single-screw-ex truder have been studied. Considering the rheology of the blend under different temperatures, we calculated the activation energy of the flu id of the blend to be 122.5 KJ/mol. Through DSC analysis, the equation describing the relation between the percentage of glycerine (B) and t he glass transition temperature T-g of the blend was established: T-g = 105.18-96.06.B.
