This research aims to study the thermal and mechanical properties of biodegradable thermoplastic cassava starch (TPCS) reinforced with various sizes of coconut husk fibre (CHF). The range of fibre sizes used was 125, 200, and 300 μm. These CHFs were integrated into a thermoplastic cassava starch ma...
