Abstract In this study, a novel biodegradable coir fiber (CF) reinforced thermoplastic starch (TPS) and poly(butylene adipate‐ co ‐terephthalate) (PBAT) composites (CF/TPS/PBAT) with constant TPS: PBAT weight ratio of 70:30 5, 10, 15, 20 wt% additions CF were prepared by the melt blending injection molding. The effects content surface modification on mechanical thermal properties biocomposites investigated. incorporation fibers effectively enhanced TPS/PBAT blends. Due to removal hemicellulose impurities after alkali treatment, interfacial adhesion was enhanced, thus improving compatibility between matrix. At CFs tensile strength exhibited 393% improvement flexural 536% over Thermal analysis showed that stability, storage modulus, glass transition temperature increased increase content. This work is significant for development materials.
