Thermal behaviour and interactions of glycerol plasticized polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH)–cassava starch (CSS) blended films were analysed using thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry methods. The outcomes showed that addition of glycerol has reduced the onset and end-point melting tempera...
