Effect of Corn Husk Content on Tensile Properties of Polylactic Acid Biocomposite Films

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nowadays bioplastics is the most recent study materials as the substitute for conventional plastics. The interest in bioplastics has lead to the production of polylactic acid (PLA) biocomposite films. In this study the PLA/Corn husk (CH) biocomposite films were prepared by using solvent casting method and the effect of CH content on the tensile properties were studied. The result found that increasing of CH content decreased the tensile strength and elongation at break of the biocomposites film. While, the modulus of elasticity increased with the increasing of CH content in the PLA matrix.
