Utilization of recycle polyethene (PE) blend with various corn starch loading / Muhammad Izzat Hakimi Azizan

A low density polyethylene /linear low density polyethylene (LDPE/LLDPE) corn starch blend with various corn content were produced by using the Tumbler mixer and extrusion blow film machine. Apart from that, the biodegradation of the mechanical and physical properties to prepared biodegradation LDPE...

Water absorption increase from 0.41g on 1% of corn starch to 0.47g on 4% of corn starch. High the corn loading promotes high water absorption due to hydrophilic properties of corn.
