    • Banana trunk fiber natural composite 

      Nor Saheila, Ishak (Universiti Malaysia PerlisSchool of Bioprocess Engineering, 2011-04)
      Polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable thermoplastic polymer was reinforced with banana fiber (BaF) to produce a biocomposite. The effect of variable fiber composition, mercerization of fiber as well as incorporation of ...

    • Chitosan/corn cob biocomposite films by cross-linking with glutaraldehyde 

      Chan, Ming Yeng; Salmah, Husseinsyah, Prof. Madya Ir. Dr.; Sam, Sung Ting, Dr. (North Carolina State University, 2013-05)
      Corn cob (CC) was used as a filler in chitosan (CS) biopolymer films. The effect of glutaraldehyde (GLA) as a crosslinking agent was studied in an effort to improve the properties of CS/CC biocomposite films prepared via ...

    • Corn cob filled chitosan biocomposite films 

      Chan, Ming Yeng; Salmah, Husseinsyah, Prof. Madya Ir. Dr.; Sam, Sung Ting, Dr. (Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
      Recently, there has been renews interest in chitosan as materials in producing of biocomposite films. The chitosan (CS)/corn cob (CC) biocomposite films were prepared by solvent casting method. The effect of CC content on ...

    • Effects of filler content and various coupling agents on properties of polypropylene/cocoa pod husk biocomposites 

      Koay, Seong Chun
      Chemical modification plays an important role in enhancing interfacial adhesion in thermoplastic biocomposites. In this study, the cocoa pod husk (CPH) filled polypropylene (PP) biocomposites were prepared using Brabender ...

    • Geo-tech biocomposite materials 

      Lin, Ong Hui, Dr.; Wei, Kam Ka; Nor Hazirah, Mohammad (Universiti Malaysia Perlis, 2015-04-17)
      Biocomposite is a composite material that made up of natural and biological origin that are eco-friendly. The biological origin that use are sea mango fillers. The main interest of bio-composite are environmental friendly ...

    • Modified corn cob filled chitosan biocomposite films 

      Chan, Ming Yeng; Salmah, Husseinsyah, Prof. Madya Ir. Dr.; Sam, Sung Ting, Dr. (Taylor and Francis Group, LLC., 2013-11)
      The present work was investigated the effect of filler content and chemical modification on mechanical, thermal properties and morphology study of CS/CC biocomposite films. The acrylic acid was used as chemical modification ...

    • Tensile and thermal properties of oil palm empty fruit bunch regenerated cellulose biocomposite films using ionic liquid 

      Nur Liyana Izyan, Zailuddin (Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Materials Engineering, 2014)
      The regenerated cellulose (RC) biocomposite films from oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) were prepared using ionic liquid. N, N Dimethylacetamide (DMAc) and Lithium Chloride (LiCl) ...

    • Thermoplastic starch composite incorporating hybrid cellulose/bentonite filler 

      Muhamad Helmi Hakimi, Hamdan (Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Materials Engineering, 2016)
      The aim of this project is to prepare the biocomposite TPS films. The composite films were prepared by casting method. In this project, TPS biocomposites containing various ratios of cellulose/bentonite fillers were produced, ...
