    • Biodegradability analysis of KBF reinforced poly (lactic acid) biocomposites 

      Maizatulnisa, Othman, Dr.; Nor Azowa, Ibrahim, Dr.; Che Mohd Ruzaidi, Ghazali, Prof. Madya; Mohd Nazarudin, Zakaria, Dr.; Zahurin, Halim, Dr. (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 ...

    • FTIR and TGA analysis of biodegradable poly(lactic acid)/treated kenaf bast fibre: Effect of plasticizers 

      Maizatulnisa, Othman; Norazowa, Ibrahim; Wan Md. Zin, Wan Yunus, Dato’ Dr.; Khalina, Abdan; khalisanni, khalid (Universiti Putra Malaysia Press., 2013)
      A biodegradable composite (PLA/KBF blends) was prepared using melt blending technique in a brabender mixer and characterized with FTIR and TGA analyzer. Five percent of triacetin and glycerol contents were used as plasticizers ...
