present, little resistance to water vapour permeability, they are significantly soluble. An
outlet for repairing such low permeability to water vapour is the inclusion of lipids to these polymeric bases. This study aimed
to evaluate the thermal properties (DSC) films produced from lipophilic corn starch, gelatin (4:1) and ester fatty epoxidized
(15% by weight of the starch) of two species of fish,
Pseudoplatystoma corruscans
(EPPI) and
Piaractus mesopotamicus
(EPPA),
and plant species Glycine max (EPSO). The determination of the glass transition temperature (Tg) analyses were performed
by differential scanning calorimetry, using a TA Instruments calorimeter (USA), Model TA 2010. The sample film pattern
composed of starch and gelatin showed only lower Tg two of the samples, 99.29

Biography
Lucia Helena Innocentini Mei did her Graduation, Master and PhD in Chemistry from the State University of Campinas. She is Titular Professor in Polymer Science
- UNICAMP, with emphasis on polymers: Biodegradable, biomaterials, composites and blends. She participated in the group of experts Pásticos Environmentally
Degradable organized by ICS (International Center for Science and High Technology Trieste/Italy) -UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organization).
Her most recent research focuses on nanofibers and nanocomposites, natural or biodegradable polymers. She is developing projects with companies and State
research institutions, such as Petrobras and private. She is a Winner of Inventor 2010 Petrobras Award.
