Summary

Researchers used CiteSpace bibliometric software to visually analyze research trends in starch-based biodegradable plastics from 2013 to 2023 using Web of Science literature, examining keywords, publication counts, citation frequencies, and collaborative networks. The study mapped the evolution of starch-based plastic research and identified key focus areas in this biodegradable polymer field.

Polymers

Starch-based biodegradable plastic is generally modified starch and biodegradable polyester blend, it can be completely biodegradable, can compost, no pollution to the environment, waste suitable for composting, landfill and many other advantages have been favored by the society. Through the bibliometric research method, retrieve the Web of science database in 2013-2023, using CiteSpace measurement analysis software visual analysis in the relevant literature keywords, publications, high cited frequency, cooperation and word clustering information change trend, analyze the research situation in the field of starch based plastics in recent years, summarizes the research status, progress and research hotspot of biodegradable plastics. The analysis results show that starch-based plastic materials is an emerging material research field, and the number of publications has increased rapidly since 2020. From 2019 to 2022, the publications accounted for about 76% of the total in the research period. Related studies are mostly published in ACS NANO, ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS, NANOSCALE and other journals, and have high academic research value. The hot research fields of starch-based plastics mostly focus on polylactic acid materials and their mechanical properties. A variety of different research hotspots are very closely related, with strong correlation and complementarity.
