Effect Of Seaweed On Mechanical, Thermal, And Biodegradation Properties Of Thermoplastic Sugar Palm Starch/Agar Composites
The aim of this paper is to investigate the characteristics of thermoplastic sugar palm starch/agar (TPSA) blend containing Eucheuma cottonii seaweed waste as biofiller. The composites were prepared by melt-mixing and hot pressing at 140 °C for 10 min. The TPSA/seaweed composites were characterized...
