Abstract

The article delves into the impact of jute fibers on the morphological, rheological, thermal, and mechanical properties of a thermoplastic starch/biodegradable polyester blend comprising PLA and PBAT. The study utilizes a continuous melt process to fabricate TPS/PLA/PBAT/JF composites, varying the jute fiber content to assess its effects. The research highlights significant improvements in tensile strength, Young’s modulus, and thermal stability, while also addressing water absorption and elongation at break. Additionally, the article discusses the thermal expansion and biodegradation of these composites, providing a holistic view of their performance and sustainability. The findings offer valuable insights for developing high-performance, eco-friendly materials in the plastics industry.
