Enhanced mechanical properties, water resistance, thermal stability, and biodegradation of the starch-sisal fibre composites with various fillers
The poor performance and high cost of the starch-sisal fibre composites with open-cell structures prevent their usage as biodegradable biomass to replace plastics. Therefore, inorganic fillers [talcum powder (TP), CaCO3 (CC)] and a bio-filler [eggshell powder (EP)] were added, and the resulting mech...
