Effect of Varying Particle Size and Content of Barley Husk on the Physical, Mechanical and Diffusional Properties of Poly Vinyl Alcohol/Barley Husk Composite FilmsBy Deepak Kohli, Sangeeta Garg, A. K Jana
Abstract: Poly vinyl alcohol (PVA)/natural barley husk (NBH) composite films were prepared using solution casting method. The influence of content (5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 wt%) and particle size (89, 152, 251, 354 and 599 µm) of NBH on the physical, mechanical and diffusional properties of composite films were evaluated. Tensile strength and elongation of the composite films decreased by 55.73 and 59.48% and young’s modulus increased by 76.46% with …
