Abstract: The contribution is aimed at preparation of a thermoplastic material derived from the wheat B-starch. Two ways have been followed, namely blending of the starch with poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and plasticizing of the starch. In both cases, properties of the materials based on the B-starch are comparable to analogous materials based on the A-starch. The prepared materials have potential application as biodegradable films for agriculture.
