Preparation And Properties Of Biodegradable Polymer Blended Film Based On Polyvinyl Alcohol And Tropical Fruit Waste Flour

In this study, a new polymer blends by blending tropical fruit waste flour with polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) using solution casting method was prepared and examined. Firstly, the rambutan waste flour (RWF) was selected to blend with PVOH. Plasticized biodegradable PVOH/RWF films at different weight rati...
