The effects of caulerpa racemosa composition on the properties of corn starch biodegradable film / Wahida Abdul Rahman, Nur Badiah Raja Roslan and Noor Aishatun Majid

Biodegradable films derived from Caulerpa Racemosa (CR) seaweed and cornstarch were successfully developed via the solution casting method. The effect of CR composition on the properties of cornstarch biodegradable films has been successfully evaluated. FTIR analysis confirmed the existence of good...
