Development and Characterization of Sugar Palm (Arenga Pinnata (Wurmb. Merr)) Fiber Reinforced Cassava (Manihot esculenta) Starch Biopolymer Composites
The study aims to develop a biopolymer composite made of sugar palm fiber and cassava starch that may degrade over time and to investigate the physical and structural characteristics of biocomposite films. Sugar palm fiber (SPF) was cast into a biocomposite with cassava starch (CS) as the matrix and...
