Evaluation of Kenaf Fibres Reinforced Starch Based Biocomposite Film through Water Absorption and Biodegradation Properties
The effect of kenaf short fibres (KF) on thermoplastic sago starch (TPSS) film was investigated for its water absorbency, biodegradability and structure morphology. The TPSS reinforced KF biocomposite film was prepared via casting method at varying TPSS/KF weight percentage of 100/0, 95/05, 90/10,...
