- Abstract
Starch/GS composite was prepared by hot-pressing method. The effects of processing conditions including hot-pressing time and amount of mixing medium on the performance of composites were studied. Results showed that tensile strength first increased and then decreased with hot-pressing time. When hot-pressing time was 10 min, composite achieved maximum tensile strength, 2.14MPa, which was 20.9% higher than that of composite prepared for 14 min. Strength at tensile fracture and tensile elongation showed similar changing law with hot-pressing time as tensile strength. When hot-pressing time was 10 min, strength at tensile fracture composite was 1.16MPa and tensile elongation was 12.61%. Amount of mixing medium had obvious effect on strength of composite. Too much or too less water both decreased tensile strength and strength at tensile fracture. When water amount was 10 mL, tensile strength and strength at tensile fracture both reached their maximum values and that were 3.01 MPa and 2.83 MPa respectively.
