Effect of glut palmitate salt as coupling agent on thermal and mechanical properties of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) / Mohd Zaki Azizan

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) can be used in many applications such as packaging and biomedical application . In this study, Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (OPEFB) was used as fiber to incorporate into the PVA and coupling agent which is Glut Palmitate (GP) was used. PVA/OPEFB was prepared by using solvent...
