Sago starch (SS) was melt-blended with polypropylene (PP) with the concentration of SS in the blends varied between 10% and 50% by weight. Characterization of the PP/SS blends was carried out to gain some information on the miscibility between PP and SS and to gain insight into how well these materi...
