Biodegradation behavior of palm oil fiber reinforced starch biocomposite

The use of biodegradable materials from renewable resources had gained more attention in recent years. This research focus on the production of biocomposite from starch, glycerol and palm oil fiber whereby the fiber composition were 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%. The biocomposite produced was characteriz...
