Citric acid-epoxidized soybean oil oligomers (CESO) were prepared and utilized to improve the properties of corn starch-based bioplastics. CESO were synthesized by controlling the stoichiometric ratio of acid equivalent weight and epoxy equivalent weight at 3:1. Starch-based bioplastics with satisfa...
