Preparation and characterization of cornhusk/sugar palm fiber reinforced Cornstarch-based hybrid composites

In the current study, a series of hybrid composite films were prepared from cornhusk fiber (CHF) and sugar palm fiber (SPF) through a solution casting technique, using cornstarch (CS) as matrix and fructose as a plasticizer. SPF at 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% (w/w dry starch) concentrations was loaded into C...
