Abstract

The effect of starch content, on the physico-mechanical properties viz., density, tensile strength and percentage elongation and optical properties like percentage transmittance at different wavelengths of low-density polyethylene/starch blended films has been investigated. The changes have been interpreted quantitatively in terms of microcrystalline parameters compiled using wide angle X-ray scattering data.
