| The challenge today is to develop a biodegradable packaging material to partially substitute the conventional plastic. Biodegradable plastics made from starch-based are more environmental friendly and degrade faster than the traditional plastics. This study aimed to produce and characterize a biodegradable film from Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott starch and glycerol plasticizer. Two levels of taro starch (5g and 10g) and three percentage of glycerol (2%, 3%, and 4%) were used in the production film.Results showed that taro and glycerol based biodegradable film obtained a lowest density, water absorption and thickness swelling of 0.98 g/cm3, 51.53% and 9.29%. The highest tensile strength and elongation obtained are 9.51 MPa and 21.60%. After one week of... |

| The study aimed to determine the optimum proportion of corn cob biomass material and binder for fuel briquettes. Three (3) levels of percentage binding agent (10, 15, 20) and three (3) different particle size (< 2.2mm, 2.2-3.2 and >3.2mm) were used in the experiments. The physical and thermal properties of the fuel briquettes were characterized in terms of density, percent shatter resistance, breaking strength, thermal efficiency and burning time.Results showed that twenty percent binding and a particle size of <2.2mm exhibited a high density of 0.30gm/ cc, the highest performance in the compression test with a value of 241.62 N and good shatter resistance of 99.25 percent. Likewise, the thermal efficiency of the briquettes produced from the... |
