The preparation of polystyrene/thermoplastic starch (PS/TPS) blends was divided into three stages. The first stage involved the preparation of TPS from sago starch. Then, for the second stage, PS was blended with TPS to produce a TPS/PS blend. The ratios of the TPS/PS blend were 20:80, 40:60, 60:40, and 80:20. The final stage was a modification of the composition of TPS/PS blends with succinic anhydride and ascorbic acid treatment. Both untreated and treated blends were characterized by their physical, thermal, and surface morphology properties. The obtained results indicate that modified blends have better tensile strength as the adhesion between TPS and PS was improved. This can be observed from SEM micrographs, as modified blends with succinic anhydride and ascorbic acid had smaller TPS dispersion in PS/TPS blends. The micrograph showed that there was no agglomeration and void formation in the TPS/PS blending process. Furthermore, modified blends show better thermal stability, as proved by thermogravimetric analysis. Water uptake into the TPS/PS blends also decreased after the modifications, and the structural analysis showed the formation of a new peak after the modification process.

Water resistant is drawback property of thermoplastic starch. Blending of hydrophobic starch to natural one is another solution. Different blending ratio of tapioca/octenyl succinate starch (OSA) at 0/100, 25/75, 50/50, 75/25, 100/0 were prepared using internal mixer, and molded by compression molding at 135-140°C, 1000-1500 MPa for 9 minutes. Density of the blend was decreased, due to lower density of OSA starch. There was mechanical properties improvement in 25% OSA blended tapioca starch i.e. tensile strength, Young’s modulus & elongation at break, due to synergy effect of OSA & tapioca starch. There was improvement in degradation temperature of the blend studying by TGA technique. Water resistance of the blend is improved related to the content of OSA starch in the blend on short time contact (10 min), but no impact at longer time exposure (1hr). The blend had a better resistant to degradation with a-amylase, which OSA starch could retard the degradation.
