Structure-properties relationships in alkaline treated rice husk reinforced thermoplastic cassava starch biocomposites
The study focuses on structure-properties relationships in thermoplastic cassava starch (TPS) based biocomposites comprising 5–20 wt% of untreated and treated rice husk (RH). Alkaline treatment with 11% w/v NaOH removed the hemicellulose layer of RH as confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectro...
