Influence of alkali treatment on the mechanical, thermal, water absorption, and biodegradation properties of cymbopogan citratus fiber-reinforced, thermoplastic cassava starch-palm wax composites

In this study, thermoplastic cassava starch–palm wax blends, reinforced with the treated Cymbopogan citratus fiber (TPCS/ PW/ CCF) were successfully developed. The TPCS were priorly modified with palm wax to enhance the properties of the matrix. The aim of this study was to investi-gate the influenc...
