The Effects of Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) Surface Treatment on Dried Banana Leaves Fibre (DBLF) to Prepare and Characterize Degradable Plastic Materials with waste Polypropylene (original) (raw)

2019, Acta Scientific Agriculture

A wide-ranging application of thermoplastic materials has stricken most current industries, such as manufacturing industry, transportation industry, medical industry and many more other industries [1]. Due to plastic flexibility characteristic, the utilization of petroleum-based non-biodegradable plastic is turn out to be endless. This scenario has cultivated the important of postproduction on waste plastic, combined with natural fibres, which are currently available and feasibly being consumed as a secondary phase of the polymer matrix composites (PMC). The resulting composite also known as green composites. The bio composition between waste plastic and natural fibres have superior and outstanding mechanical properties as well as physical properties [2]. Thermoplastic materials have been increasingly used for various applications [1]. In this research, the waste from injection moulding scrapped was consumed as a matrix and the plant-based natural fibres have been utilized to reinforce the matrix phase. pylene was taken from an injection moulding operation and was
