Box 395, Pretoria 0001, South Africa Received 7 February 2004; accepted 27 October 2004 Available online 13 January 2005 Abstract Wheat starch was reacted with poly(vinyl acetate) and with poly(vinyl acetate-co-butyl acrylate) in an internal mixer at 150 C in the absence of catalyst, and in the presence of sodium carbonate, zinc-acetate and titanium(IV) butoxide. The resulted blends were pressed into film and characterized by 1H NMR–13C NMR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), mechanical testing, dyn
