This work analyzed the effect of talc morphology on structural characteristics and final properties of thermoplastic corn starch (TPS). In this sense, composite films based on TPS containing talc nanoparticles were obtained by melt-mixing and thermo-compression. Talc samples with different morphological characteristics (platy-microcrystalline and blocky-macrocrystalline), derived from their formation process, were used. Platy and blocky morphology was distinguished by Scanning Electron Microscopy performed on composites films. Microcrystalline morphology induced smaller TPS crystallites than macrocrystalline one, indirectly evidenced by X-Ray Diffraction and Differential Scanning Calorimetry. Crystalline character of talc particles also affected visible and UV barrier capacity of TPS films. Blocky morphology of mineral filler led to the highest reduction of TPS water vapor permeation. Both talc samples acted as matrix reinforcement agents. However, macrocrystalline particles induced the major changes on elastic modulus and tensile strength, without affecting films ductility.
