Effect of Starch Oxidation Degree on the Properties of Hydrogels from Dialdehyde Starch and Polyvinyl Alcohol

by Jahel Desire Carrera, Daniela Alejandra Viteri Narváez, Marco Leon and José Francisco Alvarez-Barreto

Advances in Science, Technology and Engineering Systems Journal, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page # 1372–1380, 2020; DOI: 10.25046/aj0506165

Abstract:

Starches have been applied as biomaterials due to their wide availability and biocompatibility. These have also been modified by oxidation, resulting in dialdehyde starch (DAS), to improve their stability in water and mechanical properties. Cassava starch with a low oxidation degree has been introduced into hydrogels based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to improve their properties.…
