Self-Healing Polymer Composites from Waxy Maize Starch: Mechanisms and Sustainable Applications
Arum Chinaecherem Tochukwu, Simon Bbumba, Okafor Chukwuebuka Ubaka, Saifullahi Mukhtar & Chinedum Ogechukwu Emelda · Physical Science International Journal · 2025
Herein, we reviewed a highly branched, amylopectin-rich biopolymer, waxy maize starch (WMS), which promises to be a good matrix for durable self-healing polymer composites. Brittle petroleum-based polymers and native starch films lack barrier properties and self-healing. Sustaina...
