Hybrid bionanocomposite based on polylactic acid (PLA), kenaf fibre (KF) and organo montmorillonite (OMMT) was developed for food packaging application. Kenaf a tropical crop of Malaysia offered low cost and density, renewable and less abrasion to the processing equipment. In this project, PLA-KF-OMMT was extruded using twin screw extruder and then

This paper reported the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) between kenaf fibre (KF) and polylactic acid (PLA) matrix which was measured using microbond tests device. The value of IFSS obtained in PLA-KF is comparable to other polymer with natural fibre reinforcements. The properties of single kenaf fibre was determined from tensile tests and also de

In this project, the aim is to produce polylactic acid from kenaf fibre biomass through fermentation. Kenaf fibre is found to be naturally resistant to breakdown due to its structural sugars since it is a lignocellulosic material. Hence, it is difficult for microorganisms to use it directly as fermentation carbon source. Kenaf was underwent several

Polyolefins, such as polypropylene and polyethylene find extensive use in packaging. Improvements in poor barrier properties of polyolefins will be beneficial for the current applications and should also lead to applications in pharmaceuticals, electronic packaging and particularly packaging of food products, which are sensitive to oxygen. Most sch

تناول هذا البحث بالدراسة واحدة من أهم معضلات العالم الإسلامي وهي الاعتداء على رموزه من خلال سب نبيها محمد والاستهزاء به، فكان من الواجب أن يكون هناك بحث موضوعي يرد ويسدد ويوجه مسار مواجهة هذه �

The Traditional Islamic Educational Institution (hereinafter referred to as “Pondok”) has been established as part of formal traditional religious educational system in Malaysia. There are many literatures on Pondok (among others by Ismail Ishak, 1990, Azmi Omar, 1993 and Hasan Md Man, 1990) which focussed on syllabus that are taught in Pondok

The first contacts of Albanians to Islam are proven to be relatively early in the medieval centuries. Due to geographical situation, Albania was densely frequented by Turkish and Arab missionaries; no matter it was a commercial, religious or military purpose. The Islamization of Albanian Community went all the way through progressive growth as it i

Muslim theology admits on diversity of faiths followed by mankind. The existence of religious diversity is aimed at, among other things, seeking a common ground in disseminating goodness and eradicating evil practices in the community. The study attempts to reveal the guidelines on religious dialogue from the passages of the Qur’an. The Qur’an

Although there has been significant research on information and communication technology (ICT) project success, but there are still gaps around this field. Thus, further understanding to ensure the level of ICT project success is still required in both theory and practice. The ultimate aim of this study is develops a coherent critical success facto

Abstract. Protein foaming-consolidation method is a facile technique for production of porous materials using egg yolk as pore creating agent. Usage of the yolk in the process offers a number of advantages over other proteins such as egg white and bovine serum albumin (BSA). Various materials were successfully fabricated using this technique. The p
