Size effect of ZnO nanorods on physicochemical properties of plasticized starch composites
This work demonstrates that the size of ZnO nanorods (ZnONR) with similar aspect ratio determines several physicochemical and microbiological properties of thermoplastic starch composites (TPS/ZnONR) at a given concentration of ZnONRs. A combination of sol-gel and hydrothermal methods was developed...

This work demonstrates that the size of ZnO nanorods (ZnONR) with similar aspect ratio determines several physicochemical and microbiological properties of thermoplastic starch composites (TPS/ZnONR) at a given concentration of ZnONRs. A combination of sol-gel and hydrothermal methods was developed to synthesize ZnONR with different sizes but similar aspect ratios. Starch composites containing 1 wt.% of ZnONR were prepared by casting. Composites with smaller size nanorods (ZnONR-S) showed more efficiency in shielding UVA radiation and had a higher solubility and water vapor permeability than those with larger nanorods (ZnONR-L). Mechanical properties, biodegradability and antibacterial activity were also influenced by the size of the ZnONR. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that composites with ZnONR-S maintained the typical B-V type starch structure, intensifying the V-type starch structure peaks, while composite with ZnONR-L induced the formation of an amorphous structure, preventing starch retrogradation during storage.
