Mechanical and physical properties of sago starch/halloysite nanocomposite film

The incorporation of unmodified halloysite nanotube (HNT) in a thermoplastic sago starch (TPSS) film to form a nanocomposite material was investigated. The TPSS/HNT nanocomposite was fabricated through solvent casting method at varying HNT loading of 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 3.0, and 5.0 wt.%. Evaluation...
