Characterization, morphology, and biodegradation of bioplastic fertilizer (BpF) composites made of poly(butylene succinate) blended with oil palm biomass and fertilizer

Poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) is a versatile biodegradable polymer that can be processed into slow-release bioplastic fertilizer (BpF) composites using twin screw extruder extrusion method, with controlled formulation and temperature. In this study, slow-release BpF composites were created by blend...
