Preparation and Characterization of Biodegradable Cotton Mulching Film

Article Preview

Abstract:

The extensive use of plastic film has caused serious environmental pollution. In this paper, the fully degradable cotton mulching film was produced from waste cotton fiber by wet papermaking process. The breaking strength, tearing strength, degradation rate, transparency, air and moisture permeability of the cotton film samples were tested and analyzed. The results show that the cotton mulching film has better mechanical properties, light transmittance, and excellent degradation characteristics.
