Incorporation of kenaf core fibers into low density polyethylene/thermoplastic sago starch blends exposed to natural weathering

The landﬁll disposal of a high volume of plastics that take a long time to decompose has led to a tremendous environmental problem. Incorporation of natural polymers and ﬁbers into synthetic polymers accelerates the degradation rate by exposure to atmospheric agents such as sunlight, temperature an...
