The article presents information on a study which developed a series of biocomposites by reinforcing agar particles from red marine plant Gelidium robustum into poly(butylene asipate-co-terephatalate) (PBAT) using extrusion and injection molding technique. It evaluates the effect of different content of agar on the physico-mechanical properties of the biocomposite. It reveals that the incorporation of agar particles into PBAT improved the tensile strength and modulus with a reduced percentage of elongation at break. It also analyzes the morphology of the biocomposites using scanning electron microscope. |
