Chemical modification of palm kernel shell filled polylactic acid biocomposite flims
In this research the effect of untreated and treated palm kernel shell (PKS) on the mechanical properties, morphological analysis and thermal properties of polylactic acid (PLA)/PKS biocomposite films were studied. The ... -
Effect of kapok husk content and chemical treatment on properties of linear low density polyethylene eco-composites
The utilization of kapok husk (KH) as filler in linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) was studied. The effect of KH content and chemical treatments on tensile properties, morphology, thermal properties and water absorption ... -
The study of chemical modifications on the properties of soy protein isolate (SPI) / kapok husk (KH) biocomposite films for agriculture applications
In this research, the utilization of kapok husk (KH) as a filler in soy protein isolate (SPI) was studied to replace the plastic and petroleum based polymer films for packaging. The effect of KH loading, crosslinking agents ... -
Surface modification, characterization and properties of regenerated cellulose NYPA fructicans filled microcrystalline cellulose biocomposite films
The regenerated cellulose (RC) biocomposite films from nypa fruticans (NF) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) were prepared via solvent casting method using ionic liquid. The solvent system of N, N Dimethylacetamide ...
