| Resumen: | This study describes the use of cassava starch acetate (CSA) to impregnate Kraft paper and its influence on the water vapor permeability (Kw). This barrier property depends on the water vapor diffusion coefficient (Deff) and the material hygroscopicity properties (adsorptivity, B). The influences of Deff and b on the Kw value were studied. Kraft paper samples were impregnated at atmospheric pressure and under vacuum. The results showed an important decrease on the Kw values, which was associated with two factors: (a) the partial filling of the Kraft paper superficial and internal pores by the impregnated CSA, reducing the Kw |
