In this work, citric acid (CA) was successfully used to improve the features of starch-based bioplastic films containing epoxidized soybean oils (ESO). Citric acid-epoxidized soybean oil oligomers (CESO) with different degrees of polymerization were synthesized by controlling the molar ratios of CA...
