In the present work, the rheological and mechanical properties of
polypropylene /thermoplastic starch (PP/TPS) and acrylonitril-butadienestyrene/
thermoplastic starch (ABS/TPS) blends were investigated. Starch was
plasticized using glycerol, and b
lends were prepared using a laboratory scale
with single screw extruder. Rheological properties of the prepared blends were
determined using a capillary rheometer. Mechanical properties were studied in
term of tensile tests, stress at break, strain at break and Young's modulus were
determined.
