It was observed that loss of birefringence was initiated at hilum of granule. The polarization cross of most granules had become somewhat unclear, and reduction in clarity of the polarization cross was proportioned with the moisture contents of native starch as modification by microwave. When the moisture contents reached to 35.0%, the polarization cross of most granules was lost, and the critical point of native starch was 30% in microwave modification.展开更多

Gel of tapioca starch (TS) is a suitable matrix for the formation of ZnS, CdS and core-shell ZnS/CdS as well as CdS/ZnS quantum dots (QDs). These QDs reside in the matrix as non-agglomerating 3 - 10 nm nanocrystals. I...Gel of tapioca starch (TS) is a suitable matrix for the formation of ZnS, CdS and core-shell ZnS/CdS as well as CdS/ZnS quantum dots (QDs). These QDs reside in the matrix as non-agglomerating 3 - 10 nm nanocrystals. It is demonstrated that amylopectin is responsible for the QDs formation rather than amylose. Combination of ZnS with CdS in the core-shell QDs results in the increase in the intensity of emission without any shift of its wavelength.展开更多

Tapioca starch with 50% OSA starch was investigated. For composite foam tapioca starch mixed by adding alpha-chitin at 5% - 30% of starch weight, it was found that water absorption was reduced. The higher alpha-chitin content in blending foam, the denser of foam structure observed which resulted in increasing of the foam density. The maximum bending stress of composite starch was decreased, but increasing the maximum bending strain.展开更多
