From straw waste to circular composites: A systematic comparison of untreated fillers in PBS, PBAT and their blends through performance, morphology and sustainability assessment

In this study, wheat straw (WS) and rice straw (RS) were added up to 30 wt% in maleic anhydride grafted polybutylene succinate (PBS) and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) using a co-rotating twin-screw extruder. Injection molded samples were analyzed using tensile, f...
