Patent number: 7704328Abstract: The present invention relates to a starch composition comprising starch, a polymer that is substantially compatible with starch and has a weight-average molecular weight of at least 500,000 such that the polymer forms effective entanglements or associations with neighboring starch molecules, and preferably at least one additive to improve melt flow and melt processability. The additive may be a hydroxyl plasticizer, a hydroxyl-free plasticizer, a diluent, or mixtures thereof. The composition is melt processable on conventional thermoplastic equipment. The composition is especially suitable for uniaxial and biaxial extensional processes to make fibers, films, foams and like products.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2008Date of Patent: April 27, 2010Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Valerie Ann Bailey, Larry Neil Mackey, Paul Dennis Trokhan

Patent number: 7041369Abstract: The present invention relates to starch compositions which contain starch and additives. The starch has a weight average molecular weight ranging from about 1,000 to about 2,000,000. The additives can be plasticizers or diluents. The composition containing the starch and the additive is formed by means of passing the composition through a die to produce fibers, foams or films. These compositions have an extensional viscosity in the range from about 50 to about 20,000 pascal seconds. The starch compositions preferably contain a polymer that is substantially compatible with starch and has a weight-average molecular weight of at least 500,000.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2000Date of Patent: May 9, 2006Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Larry Neil Mackey, Michael David James, Gregory Charles Gordon, John Gerhard Michael, Paul Dennis Trokhan, Valerie Ann Bailey
