The effect of moisture content on tensile and fracture properties of a plasticised starch/high molecular weight polyol blend was investigated. A wide range of mechanical behaviour was achieved by varying slightly the water uptake of this material. At low moisture content, the Young's modulus was 3800 MPa and the yield stress, 54 MPa. When the moisture content reached 15 wt%, their values dropped, respectively, to around 1500 MPa and 21 MPa. As the material behaviour varies greatly over the moisture content range, two fracture mechanics techniques were employed: the linear elastic fracture mechanics approach to characterise brittle behaviour and the essential work of fracture method to investigate a more ductile material. At low moisture content, the measured strain energy release rate at fracture, J(Q) was very low and showed little dependency on the moisture content. As the moisture content increases, the material becomes increasingly ductile and displayed a brittle-to-ductile transition at 12% of moisture content, which corresponded to the glass transition temperature of the added polyol.
