Effect of amylose:amylopectin ratio and rice bran addition on starch films properties.
TL;DR: Rice bran with the smallest particles improved the elastic modulus of the films, especially in high amylose content films, but reduced the film stretchability and its barrier properties, due to the enhancement of the water binding capacity and the introduction of discontinuities.

Physical and microstructural properties of biodegradable films based on pea starch and PVA
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of storage time on the physical properties of pea starch (PS) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films and their blend was studied to develop biodegradable packaging materials for food applications.

Development and characterization of active films based on starch-PVA, containing silver nanoparticles
TL;DR: In this paper, starch-PVA-based films with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been developed and characterized as to their physical and antimicrobial properties and silver release kinetics to polar (A, B, C and D1) and non-polar (D2) food simulants.

Biodegradation behavior of starch-PVA films as affected by the incorporation of different antimicrobials
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of different antimicrobial substances into S-PVA films had on their disintegration and biodegradation process was analyzed, and the results showed that the presence of these antimicrobials did not compromise the compostable and bio-degrading character of the starch and PVA blend films.
