Abstract
An analysis has been made of the effect of different additives on the properties of starch-based polymer composites. The authors describe the principal stages of the technology for producing such materials, which can be used for creating new ecologically safe biodegradable materials for the manufacture of films, packaging, and different products of short-time use. Their main trade names and manufacturers are given.
