## Abstract
Abstract The production of bioplastic from starch/chitosan reinforced polypropylene with different ratio from 35/65, 50/50 and 65/35. In present study, bioplastic was investigated by using tensile strength test, X-Ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy, and respectively. XRD analysis shows that the sample have amorphous phase structure with the main broad peaks 18° to 30°. FT-IR used to investigate functional group and the result analysis show that the main bonding is of O-H hydrogen bonds (carboxylic acid), C-H alkanes, C=C alkenes and C-O alcohols. The tensile strength obtained for bioplastic were 68.41Mpa at ratio 65/35, respectively. These bio plastics have exhibited mechanical properties with high biodegradability that makes them a suitable alternative for the existing conventional plastics.
