Abstract

The subject matter of the present invention is a thermoplastic or elastomeric composition, characterized in that: a) it exhibits a degree of biodegradability of less than 50%, preferably less than 30%, and b) it contains at least 0.5% and at most 99.95% by weight of an ester of a starchy material, which has a degree of ester substitution (DS) of between 1.6 and 3, and at least 0.05% by weight and at most 99.5% by weight of a polymer other than starch.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to novel thermoplastic or elastomeric compositions based on esters of starch materials with a high degree of ester substitution (DS) and polymers other than starch. Background technique [0002] In the present invention the expression "thermoplastic or elastomeric composition" is understood to mean a composition which in a reversible manner softens under the action of heat and hardens on cooling (thermoplastic) and / or under stress Restores its original shape and its initial dimensions (elastomeric) approximately rapidly after the application of a tensile force. It has at least one glass transition temperature (T g ), below which temperature all or part of the amorphous portion of the composition is in a brittle glassy state, and above which the composition may undergo reversible plastic deformation. The glass transition temperature or at least one of the glass transition temperatures of the thermoplastic or elastomeric c...
