Effect of glycerol on performance rice straw/starch based polymer

The effect of glycerol on the mechanical, thermal and water absorption properties of thermoplastic tapioca starch reinforced rice straw fiber grinded in the range below 100 µm was investigated. Compound formulation was done on twin screw extrusion and the extrudates were pelletized. The compounded s...
