The properties of a thermoplastic starch were enhanced with the reinforcement of kenaf fibre (Hibiscus canabinus). The development of the starch-kenaf biopolymer composite was motivated to improve the polymer biocompatibility, biodegradability as well as to reduce the dependency of synthetic polymer...
