Overview

The research investigates the morphology and crystallinity of biodegradable plastic using chitosan and calcium carbonate, suggesting potential in reducing synthetic polymer usage.

Key Points

  • The study demonstrates the potential of sago starch as a biodegradable plastic source, reducing synthetic polymer reliance.
  • Characterization revealed low crystallinity in thermoplastic starch through X-Ray Diffraction at a value of 26.85140.
  • Surface morphology was analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscopy, showing the distribution of various elements in the plastic matrix.
  • This research implicates that combining natural starch with additives like chitosan can enhance the sustainability of plastics.
