Preparation of antimicrobial polymeric composites using defective silk cocoons and moringa seed oil as additives for polyvinyl chloride

Abstract In this work, novel polymeric blends were prepared from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and silkworm cocoon waste (SCW), that were defective cocoons excluded during the silk-making process in the ratio 50:50 w/w. These blends were incorporated with moringa seed oil (MSO) as a bio-based plasticizer...
