Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Hybridization of polylactic acid (PLA), kenaf fibre (KF) and montmontmorillonite (MMT) is expected to contribute to new class of biodegradable materials. In light with this, three types of composites were developed namely PLA-KF biocomposite, PLA-MMT nanocomposite and PLA-KF-MMT hybrid biocomposite. On the basis of sustainable and green material, t
