The specific heat capacity (C sp) of polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) blends with cassava starch (CSS) was studied by the differential scanning calorimetry method. Specimens of PVOH-CSS blends: PPV37 (70mass% CSS) and PPV46 (60mass% CSS) were prepared by a melt blending method with glycerol added as a plast...
