METHOD OF PRODUCING PLASTIC BOARD FROM CORN (Zea mays) HUSKS AND EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE

摘要

The technology teaches a plastic board comprising mainly of expanded polystyrene and corn husk. Its method of producing comprises the steps of boiling corn husk with soda ash for two (2) hours, rinsing in running water, unraveling husks into threads, dissolving expanded polystyrene (EPS) in pure acetone, kneading slimelike structure until EPS is completely dissolved, layering dissolved EPS and threaded corn husk alternately in a molder, and air-drying layered output article for five (5) days at room temperature.
