Characterization of Bio-Polymer Composite Thin Film Based on Banana Peel and Egg Shell

Abstract

<p>This research study of xrd characterization analysis of organic filler comprise waste banana peel and waste egg shell as matrix and reinforcement in bio-composite thin film. Banana peel fibers exhibit good renewable material for the substitution of bio based composite. The banana peel and egg shell were separately cut into smaller pieces and boiled for 20 min before drying in oven at temperature 80 ˚C for 30 min. These pieces were then ground using mechanical blender into fine powder sizes ranging from 80 -100 μm,.</p>
