The foamed composite could be completely biodegradable which was mainly prepared by corn starch and PVA, reinforced by waste pulp paper, foamed by NH4HCO3,plasticized by the mixed plasticizer of glycerol/urea and other adjuvants by extrusion foaming method. Then, the foamed composites’ density, foam expansion ratio, water absorbability, rebound rate, cell morphology and the effect of mixed plasticizer on the plastication of cornstarch were discussed.
The results showed that the density decreased with increasing NH4HCO3 content, then increasing. When the content of NH4HCO3 was 1.2%, the composite had the lowest value which was 0.16 g.cm-3. The foam expansion ratio, water absorption rate and increase in length were all increasing with increasing NH4HCO3 content, then decreasing. When the content of NH4HCO3 was 1.2%, they had the highest values. The number of cell firstly increased with increasing NH4HCO3 content, then decreasing. The side of cell became larger with increasing content of NH4HCO3. When waste pulp paper content was 20%, the number of cell was most and the side of cell was small and distributed well. When mixed plasticizer content was 30%, starch and waste pulp paper had good compatibility, the number of cell was more and the side of cell distributed well.
