Abstract
A series of biocomposites were developed by reinforcing agar particles from red marine plant Gelidium robustum into poly(butylene adipate-co-terephatalate) (PBAT) using extrusion and injection molding technique. The effect of different content of agar (0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 wt%) on the physico-mechanical properties of the biocomposite was evaluated. The dynamic mechanical behavior of the composites was studied to determine the storage and loss...
