In the present study, biomicrocomposites of thermoplastic starch with latex or/and cellulose microparticles were prepared via twin-screw extruder, internal mixer and compression molder, varying the filler concentration. Thermo-mechanical (static and dynamic) and dielectric properties were investigated via Tensile Tester, Dynamic Mechanical Analysis and Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy respectively. Dielectric properties and related relaxation phenomena were investigated in the temperature range from 30 to 130oC and in the frequency range from 10-1 to 107 Hz. Morphological and crystallographic characterization was also conducted via Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-Ray Diffraction. |
