Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE)/ Thermoplastic Sago Starch (TPSS) blend Filled Kenaf Core Fiber (KCF)
Recently, blending of common hydrocarbon polymer with natural based materials has gain much interest towards the development of degradable composites. In this study, a series of LDPE/TPSS blend reinforced with KCF with stach content ranging from 10 to 40% were prepared via melt blending method. For...

| description | Recently, blending of common hydrocarbon polymer with natural based materials has gain much interest towards the development of degradable composites. In this study, a series of LDPE/TPSS blend reinforced with KCF with stach content ranging from 10 to 40% were prepared via melt blending method. For this study, kenaf loading was fixed at 20% (by weight). The blended samples were characterised by means of tensile test and morphological study. The experimental results shows that there is a gradual decrease in tensile strength, modulus and elongation at break with increase in starch loading. The scanning electron micrograph supports the findings of tensile properties. |
