Characterisation and biodegradation of poly(latic acid) blended with oil palm biomass and fertiliser for bioplastic fertiliser composites

Characterisation and biodegradation of poly(latic acid) blended with oil palm biomass and fertiliser for bioplastic fertiliser composites

This work presents a new technique for producing a slow-release fertiliser with bioplastic polymer coating. Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was blended with granular NPK fertiliser and empty fruit bunch (EFB) fibres using extrusion technique. The polymer coatings were characterised using thermal gravimetric...
