Abstract:
Ecofriendly and biodegradable plastic materials have greatly increased the interest among research and industries owing to the ecological problem including the accumulation of plastic waste. Ecocomposites are made of natural filler and bioplastic that are ecofriendly and biodegradable. Further natural fibres tend to be applied for engineered PVA materials and can provide desired mechanical properties and used in short life cycle application like trays, food containers and cutlery. With recycling of natural filler PVA ecoocomposites causes no harm to environment and with effective biodegradability. The morphology and structural properties of PVA biofilms minored with Coconut shell powder are found using techniques XRD, FESEM and EDX.
