DEVELOPMENT OF INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY FOR THE PRODUCTION OF BIODEGRADABLE STARCH-BASED COMPOSITE MATERIALS

Abstract

In modern society, the concept of biodegradable polymers is becoming increasingly important. To achieve this goal, research is being conducted to develop biodegradable polymers by modifying synthetic polymers with starch and adding various modifiers, fillers, softeners, and antibacterial additives. The introduction of such polymers into everyday use not only supports the principles of a green economy, but also helps preserve the ecosystem.

The purpose of this project is to develop an innovative technology for the production of biodegradable composite materials based on starch, aimed at ensuring environmental safety and sustainable development in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The relevance of this research is due to the growing environmental burden and the urgent need to develop alternative materials that meet modern standards of biodegradability and environmental safety.

The main problem addressed in this work is the insufficient development and application of effective technologies for the production of biodegradable composites based on natural and synthetic polymers, which limits their industrial application.
