2.3. Thermo-gravimetric analysis
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was done using TA
instrument Q500 with a heating rate of 10 C/min (Awal
et al., 2010, 2012; Awal and Sain, 2011). The samples were
heated from 40 C to 550 C to determine the complete thermal degradation of bio-composites. All tests were
carried out in nitrogen atmosphere using a flowing rate
of 60 ml/min. Three samples were conducted for these
experiments.
