Pineapple Peel Fibre Biocomposite: Characterisation and Biodegradation Studies

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2017
In this study, pineapple peel fibre (PAPF) based low density polyethylene (LDPE) biocomposites for green packaging was studied. The PAPF was first being treated with alkali before compounded with LDPE. The mixture was compounded using twin screw extruder
