The aim of this work was to study the effect of different type of plasticisers, i.e., polyethylene glycol (PEG) and coconut oil (CO), on the properties of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) filled polylactic acid (PLA) composite. The sample compounding was carried out via melt blending method. The...
