Abstract:

The aim of this study is preliminary survey the natural material and investigates physicochemical properties of cellulose and chicken eggshell. The chickeneggshell as natural material which used as film filler in the cellulose/CaCO3 biocomposite. The potential and the possibilities of chicken eggshell to use as filler were studied with three conventional analysis techniques, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. It was found that the structural of chicken eggshell have calcites phase and the structural of cellulose have amorphous crystalline phase while the chemical composition of both material were investigated by EDXRF which show the organic compound as major element in cellulose but in chicken eggshell the major element is organic compound and calcium (Ca) element. The deeply investigate molecular composition by FT-IR which show the characteristic feature have been studied.
