Comparative study on the effect of bentonite or feldspar filled low-density polyethylene/thermoplastic sago starch/kenaf core fiber composites

The present work evaluated the potential of the addition of bentonite and feldspar as fillers on the mechanical and physical properties of low-density polyethylene (LDPE)/thermoplastic sago starch (TPSS)/kenaf core fiber (KCF) composites. For this purpose, 3 to 15 phr of fillers were incorporated in...
