Biodegradable Mulches Based on Poly(vinyl Alcohol), Kenaf Fiber, and Urea

Biodegradable Mulches Based on Poly(vinyl Alcohol), Kenaf Fiber, and Urea

This paper describes the preparation of poly(vinyl alcohol)/kenaf fiber (PVOH/KF) composites with entrapped urea. The major FTIR peaks of these composites could be identified. These composites are intended for agricultural applications as biodegradable mulches and could be potential carrier material...
