## Abstract This study describes the effect of predrying sago starch, a tropical starch, on the resultant mechanical properties of starch/poly(Ξ΅βcaprolactone) composite materials. Sago starch was dried to less than a 1% moisture level in a vacuum oven and dispersed into a polycaprolactone matrix wi

The aqueous consolidation of jute slivers and its comparison with the control in the LDPE matrix were studied in this article. The increase in strength of the consolidated jute sliver-LDPE composite was noticed. Jute slivers were immersed in water, squeezed, air dried, and finally consolidated at 16
In the present article a series of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) blends with different amounts of fatty esters of amylose and starch, were prepared in a Haake-Buchler Reomixer. The tensile as well as the dynamic thermomechanical (DMTA) properties of the blends were measured. It was found that as t
The degree of mechanical reinforcement that could be obtained by the introduction of henequen cellulosic fibers in a low-density polyethylene, LDPE, matrix was assessed experimentally. Composite materials of LDPE-henequen cellulosic fibers were prepared by mechanical mixing. The concentration of ran
