Pandanus amaryllifolius fibre (PAF) is an agricultural waste plant derived from the natural cellulosic source of fibre that can be used in various bio-material applications. In the present study, a novel biodegradable thermoplastic cassava starch/beeswax blends reinforced with Pandanus amaryllifoliu...
