From Native Starch to Polymer Materials for
different Applications
Polysaccharide: Starch
- Storage for energy production for vegetal (Starch is the
major carbohydrate reserve in higher plants)
- Mainly from corn (USA), from Cassava (Asia and South
America), from Wheat and Potatoes (Europe)
- Fully biodegradable and from renewable resources
- Large prod. (< 60% for food) and cheap (< 0.5 €/kg)

- Fully biodegradable and from renewable resources
- Large prod. (< 60% for food) and cheap (< 0.5 €/kg)
- Processable with plastic processing machines
Polysaccharide: Starch
Starch is composed of two macromolecules:
amylose and amylopectin
amylose: linear polymer (Mw=105-106)
Amylose is a sparsely branched
carbohydrate mainly based on
alpha(1–4) bonds.
α (1- 4)
Native starch structure:
Polysaccharide: Starch
amylopectin: highly branched polymer (Mw=106-109)
Amylopectin is a highly multiple-branched biopolymer. It is based on
alpha(1–4) (around 95%) and alpha(1–6) links (around 5%).
Starch is composed of two macromolecules:
amylose and amylopectin

OUTLINE
Chitin: second most abundant natural polymer after cellulose (109 T/y)
Main component of the cell walls of fungi, the exoskeletons of
arthropods such as crustaceans (e.g., crabs, lobsters and shrimps)
and insects, …
Mainly obtained from the processing waste of shellfish, krill, clams,
oysters, and fungi (Content ranges 8-33%)
Polysaccharide, which can be compared to cellulose
Highly crystalline structure (cf. chitin whiskers)
From Chitin to Chitosan
Chemical Structures:
Substitution in position 2
-OH = Cellulose
-NHCOCH3 = Chitin
-NH2 = Chitosan
% Deacetylation in commercial chitosan: 60-100%
Mw=104-108 (according to the resource)
Polysaccharides: Cellulose/Chitin/Chitosan
From Chitin to Chitosan
Chitosan has a number of commercial and possible
uses (Diet, Cosmetic …)
Production: 2 000 tons/Year
Agriculture: seed treatment and biopesticide,
helping plants to fight off fungal infections
(antifungal and antimicrobial prop.)
Water processing: part of filtration process
(flocculants …)
Industry: self-healing PU paint coating
Medicine/Biomedical: useful in bandages to
reduce bleeding and as an antibacterial agent.
Used as drug delivery system or for tissue
engineering (scaffold …)
From Chitin to Chitosan
Till 2008: Plasticized chitosan is only obtained by solvent casting
Innovative process, development based on previous studies on TPS
Multistep process: - Chitosan destructuration/disruption: Glycerol (10 to 25 wt %) is
incorporated in the chitosan powder and mixed. Then, acetic acid
aqueous solution (2% v/v) is added to the mixture to obtain a paste.
- Plasticized chitosan melting:
The mixture was thermo-mechanically
blended by internal mixer or by extrusion.
- Final Processing: The material is
e.g., hot-pressed to obtain plates

Post-processing ageing:
Impact of %RH on the Water uptake
b relaxations: motions of the side chains or lateral groups of
chitosan interacting with glycerol and water by hydrogen bonding
1st b relax.: Linked to glycerol relaxation process (as TPS)
2nd b relax.: Attributed to water-induced relaxation process.
Highlights the water/polymer interactions
a relaxation can be associated to the Tg of the Chitosan
