Properties of thermoplastic starch/kenaf composite

This paper reports on the physical and mechanical properties of the thermoplastic sago starch/kenaf fibre (TPSS/KF) composite. The composite was prepared through a compression molding technique at varying fibre contents of 0, 10, 20 and 30 wt.%, whilst the effect of the fibres incorporation was e...
