Effect of crude palm oil, Aloe vera, glycerol, and starch on characteristics and mechanical properties of polyethylene film / Siti Fatma Abd Karim … [et al.]

The long-chain structure of polyethylene (PE) have caused low degradation ability of PE, and its hydrophobic nature have reduced its compatibility with other hydrophilic polymer material. This paper focuses on the effect of blending crude palm oil (CPO), Aloe vera (AV), glycerol (G), and starch (S)...
