Preparation of biomineral filler and its application as biopolymer composite filler / Nur Damia Mohd Ismail

Lokan shell powder (LP), which is the source of biomineral Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) has been incorporated into a biopolymer, PLA to produce thin film biocomposites. The incorporation of LP has been affecting the mechanical properties, crystallization and porosity of the PLA matrix. With the addi...
