The resulting electrically conductive TPS samples were less hygroscopic than glycerol plasticized TPS samples. Despite this lower water uptake, [BMIM]Cl seems to be intrinsically a more efficient plasticizer of starch. [BMIM]Cl plasticized TPS samples show a much higher elongation at break in the rubbery state than the glycerol plasticized TPS samples. Their unusually low rubbery Young's modulus for thermoplastic starch (0.5 MPa)suggests a strong reduction of hydrogen bonds between the starch chains due to the presence of the ionic liquid. A detailed IR spectroscopy analysis supports this interpretation UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1joom_0kvYokUkXTuK0Ze4ddF7BiaYmNJ/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
