Polystyrene/corn starch/PVA blends were prepared by melt blending. The demand of the biodegradable polymer products in the market is increasing day by day. The biodegradable composites are greatly used as packaging material. The Addition of starch/PVA/Polystyrene in high proportion increased the expansion and mechanical resistance of studied foams. The mixing of corn starch and polyvinyl alcohol and polystyrene in organic solvents such as chloroform and melt mixing of compatibilized polystyrene/corn starch/polyvinyl alcohol blends are some of the methods that have been studied.
