2020年1月1日 · Starch is a polysaccharide produced by plants as a means of storing energy. It is stored intracellularly in the form of spherical granules, with 2–100 μm in diameter. Most commercially available starches are isolated from grains such as corn, rice and wheat, or from tubers such as potato and cassava (tapioca).

2022年5月30日 · In this paper, we comprehensively present the valorization of starch to biobased materials. The method we adopted was to divide our findings into two sections: the first was to present information about starch, including its history, structure, extraction, and modification, and the second was to emphasize the unique applications of starch.

2013年5月3日 · Starch has been used as a biomaterial for several applications including tissue engineering scaffolds, substrates for cell seeding, drug delivery systems, bone replacement implants, wound dressings, among others. In this paper, we review the use of starch-based materials for the development of wound dressings.

2022年6月1日 · This review looks at various ways of synthesis, strategic functionalization, properties and applications of starch-based materials such as bionanocomposites, pH-sensitive films, aerogels, carbon dots and fluorescent films, and is intended to provide a blueprint for next-generation design and tailoring of advanced starch-based materials.

2023年5月1日 · Starch is regarded as one of the most promising sustainable materials due to its abundant yield and excellent biodegradability. From the perspective of practical engineering applications, this paper systematically describes the development of starch-based bio-composites in the past decade.

Starch-based materials with excellent biodegradability can be widely used by improving their properties. This review starts with the structure of starch and summarizes its phase transition during processing related to the packaging materials. Then, we expound on the development stage of starch-based biodegradable materials and starch modification.

2019年11月1日 · In order to overcome the weakness of pure starch-based materials, such as lower mechanical properties found in natural polymers and moisture sensitivity, various blends and composites have been...

2022年5月30日 · Existing research has focused on strategies for developing biomaterials from organic polymers (e.g., cellulose), but there has been little research on its polysaccharide counterpart (starch). This review paper highlighted the structure of starch, the context of amylose and amylopectin, and the extraction and modification of starch with their ...

2024年10月20日 · In recent years, various biomedical applications have been developed utilizing starch-based biomaterials. These include the creation of starch-based scaffolds for tissue engineering, drug-delivery systems, and starch-based hemostatic agents. Numerous starch-based biodegradable polymers have been innovated for bone tissue engineering.

2024年11月6日 · The development of sustainable materials has driven significant interest in starch as a renewable and biodegradable polymer. However, the inherent brittleness, hydrophilicity, and lack of thermoplasticity of native starch limit its application in material science.
