Abstract
- A novel method for starch modification is investigated. Starch is highly cross linked by glow discharge plasma, without the assistance of conventional chemical agents, thus avoiding any environmental concerns. An energy-charge-transfer mechanism is suggested for the function of plasma. This process could be useful for the production of large quantities of modified starch. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
