Evaluation of chitosan/sisal fiber/polyethylene membranes [PDF]
Materials Today: Proceedings, 2021 Abstract Composites of ternary blend of chitosan/sisal fiber/high density polyethylene, were prepared by using the Rheomixer, followed by hot press, in order to form dense microfiltration membranes. The effective operation of the membranes was tested via the utilization of distilled water. The structural arrangement of the membranes was examined with
