Preparation And Properties Of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) / Thermoplastic Sago Starch (TPSS) / Kenaf Composites

In this research, thermoplastic sago starch (TPSS) was incorporated in low density polyethylene (LDPE). TPSS loadings were varied from 10 to 50 wt. % to study the effect of adding TPSS on tensile properties, morphology, water absorption, natural weathering and soil burial properties of LDPE/TPSS ble...
