Effect Of Cogon Grass Fibre On The Thermal, Mechanical And Biodegradation Properties Of Thermoplastic Cassava Starch Biocomposite

Thermoplastic cassava starch (TPCS) is a promising alternative material to replace the non-biodegradable petroleum based polymer due to its good environmental-friendly aspect i.e. abundant, sustainable, recyclable and biodegradable in nature. However, TPCS have some limitation such as poor mechanica...
