Thermal and structural analysis of epoxidized jatropha oil and alkaline treated kenaf fiber reinforced poly(Lactic acid) biocomposites

Show other versions (1)

New environmentally friendly plasticized poly(lactic acid) (PLA) kenaf biocomposites were obtained through a melt blending process from a combination of epoxidized jatropha oil, a type of nonedible vegetable oil material, and renewable plasticizer. The main objective of this study is to investigate...
