On The Crystallinity Of Eco Bioplastics Packaging Using DSC Techniques

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine Eco Bioplastics Packaging containing LDPE/CS. Effects content concentration of corn stalk and inclusion compatibilizer on the crystallinity and morphology of Eco Bioplastics Packaging biocomposites. It was found that the by using similar filler loading, compatibilized Eco Bioplastics Packaging has revealed higher enthalpy and crystallinity of Eco Bioplastics Packaging with MAPE.  Additionally, the addition of MAPE improved the interfacial interaction between corn stalk and LDPE biocomposites, as confirmed by SEM analysis.
