This work aimed to obtain thermoplastic starch composites (TPS) derived from and fibers of babassu coconut. The was prepared with 40% plasticizer (glycerol). underwent chemical treatment alkalinization bleaching. SEM images infrared spectra showed that wax, lignin, hemicellulose were removed the fiber surface. TPS a smooth uniform surface, whereas TPSWF composite (washed fiber) voids between TPS. phenomenon not observed in TPSAF (alkalized TPSBF (bleached fiber). tensile strength elastic...
