Low density polyethylene (LDPE) / tapioca starch composites : effect of tapioca starch and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) as compatibilizer / Mohamad Hanim Roslan

This study focused on the Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and Tapioca Starch with presence of Ethyl Vinyl Acetate as a compatibilizer. There was several percentage of filler loading used such as 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% in order to give better review of the effect of filler content on the mechanical...
