Abstract
This chapter reported the characterization and properties of biodegradable polymer film composites based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) and tropical fruit waste flour (TFWF). Three types of TFWF were used, i.e., rambutan waste flour, banana waste flour, and jackfruit waste flour. Tensile properties, water absorption, water vapor transmission, natural weathering, and morphological properties of PVOH and TFWF composites were studied. Overall results exhibited that the biodegradable polymer film composites prepared by blending the TFWF and PVOH exhibited a great variety of property profile.
