  Abstract

Biodegradable films made of plasticized starch/poly(vinyl alcohol) blends were crosslinked under ultraviolet irradiation for between 1 and 60 min in air at room temperature in the presence of sodium benzoate and glutaraldehyde. The crosslinking effect was evaluated from the tensile strength, gel content, and FT infrared spectrum of each formulation. The results show that by using photoinitiators and plasticizers, the strength and water resistance of the starch/PVA blends could be improved.
