Abstract

The optimum content of initiator (APS), cross linker (MBA), sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and oil palm empty fruit bunch micro-fiber (OPEFB), were optimized using central composite design method (CCD). Polymer hydrogel composite (PHGC) and plain polymer hydrogel (PHG) were characterized using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The influence of OPEFB on biodegradation of PHG was studied.
