About this document
Taro Leaf Bio-Wax Hydrophobicity Profile by Rousell Andrada is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses research on characterizing the hydrophobic properties of bio-wax extracted from taro leaves for potential surface coating applications. Taro leaf samples were immersed in chloroform to extract the bio-wax. Tests found the wax had an average contact time of 981 seconds, exceeding 300 seconds limit for hydrophilicity. Thermogravimetric analysis indicated the wax decomposes in three stages, with different melting points. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and gas chromatography-fla
