Characteristics Of Cogon Grass Fibre Reinforced Thermoplastic Cassava Starch Biocomposite: Water Absorption And Physical Properties
The aim of this study is to investigate the characteristic of thermoplastic cassava starch (TPCS) composites containing cogon grass fiber (CGF) in the range of 1, 3, and 5 wt. %. Initially, the mixture of TPCS and CGF are prepared by pre-mixing using a high-speed mixer at 3000 rpm for 12 min. Then,...
