Abstract The study was aimed to improve the properties of starch-based biodegradable films by the way of polymer blending. The composite films were prepared by incorporating various proportions of PVA (10, 30, 50, 70, and 90% of starch wt.) to the starch using the solvent casting method. All films were analyzed for their mechanical behavior, barrier properties, water solubility, water contact angle, and biodegradability. Incorporation of PVA to starch polymer significantly (p
