containing blended poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL), hydroxyapatite (HA), and thermoplastic zein (TZ). Thermoplastic zein was developed by mixing zein with glycerol (GLY) and polyethylene glycol (PEG). The thermal properties of mixed TZ and bio composite were characterised to investigate the characterisat...
