Preparation and Characterization of Kenaf Papers Reinforced with Tapioca Starch: Physicomechanical and Morphological Properties

The present study reports the preparation and characterization of kenaf papers that reinforced with tapioca starch by using the ammonium zirconium (IV) carbonate as coupling agent. The examination shows the tearing resistance, tensile strength, and Young’s modulus of the kenaf papers are enhanced wi...
