      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 ...
    • Effects of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTS) on the mechanical and thermal properties of plasticized polylactic acid nanocomposites 

      Maizatulnisa, Othman, Dr.; Tan, Kok Hui; Mohd Yusof, Hashim; Halisanni, Khalid; Che Mohd Ruzaidi, Ghazali, Prof. Madya; Mohd Nazarudin, Zakaria, Dr; Paridah, Md Tahir, Prof. Dr.; Noor Azlina, Hassan, Dr. (Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
      A multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/plasticized polylactic acid (PLA) composite was prepared using a two-roll mill set at 170°C and 50 rev/min. The material was characterized using dynamicmechanical analyzer (DMA). ...
