Characterization of sago starch-based degradable plastic with agricultural waste cellulose fiber as filler

Sago starch and cellulose fiber can be used as a raw material for making degradable plastics to replace commercial plastics. This research used corn cob fiber and sugarcane bagasse fiber as filler to improve the properties of degradable plastic. The research method consists of several stages, cellul...
