A Novel Composite form Waste Paper Fiber and modified Starch for potted plant Application

摘要

The objective of this work was to study the preparation and properties of a novel biopolymer composite produced from waste paper (PF) and natural rubber-graft-cassava starch (NS) made by using water based route potted plant application. The water resistance and toluene resistance of the polymer composite were enhanced after the addition of the PF compared to the pristine NS. The moisture content of the composite was mostly constant. The swelling ratio, moisture content and moisture absorption of the specimen was improved after the incorporation of urea. The tensile strength of the biopolymer was improved after the addition of the PF and urea.
