Processing and Characterisation of Banana Leaf Fibre Reinforced Thermoplastic Cassava Starch Composites

Increasing environmental concerns have led to greater attention to the development of biodegradable materials. The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of banana leaf fibre (BLF) on the thermal and mechanical properties of thermoplastic cassava starch (TPCS). The biocomposites were prepare...
