TI - A new biodegradable plastic made from starch graft poly(methyl acrylate)copolymer N2 - A starch graft poly(methyl acrylate)copolymer was developed having grafted side chains with molecular weight of less than 500,000. This material can be easily extruded into a film which shows excellent initial tensile strength and elongation. Tensile strength, however, falls off rapidly after 70 hr of water immersion at 25°C. Starch graft poly(methyl acrylate)films show excellent susceptibility to fungal growth, some samples losing more than 40 UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1L1qOT8ymCNtXVpwmlrvcsa12wQmLYsCg/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
