Biodegradability analysis of KBF reinforced poly (lactic acid) biocomposites
(Trans Tech Publications, 2012)Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) and kenaf bast fiber (KBF) were melt-blended using brabender into films in the PLA/KBF ratios of 100/0, 90/10, 70/30 and 50/50 for natural soil burial test. This formulation was used to study the ... -
Effect of maleic anhydride-grafted-polyethylene (MAPE) and silane on properties of recycled polyethylene/chitosan biocomposites
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2013-01)Chitosan-filled recycled polyethylene biocomposites were prepared using an internal mixer. The effect of maleic anhydride-grafted-polyethylene (MAPE) and silane of recycled polyethylene (RPE)/chitosan biocomposites on ... -
Tensile properties of polypropylene/cocoa pod husk biocomposites: Effect of maleated polypropylene
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)Polypropylene/Cocoa Pod Husk (PP/CPH) biocomposites with different maleated polypropylene (MAPP) content were prepared via melt blending process using Brabender Plastrograph mixer. The tensile strength and tensile modulus ...
