Methodology table which clearly present the procedures of various stages.
| Step | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1. Henna preparation | Clean, grind, and sieve Henna leaves into a fine powder (250 µm). Dry the powder at 60 °C for 24 h |
| 2. Mixing | Weigh and mix PLA pellets and the dried henna powder in a ratio of 98% PLA to 2% henna |
| 3. Dissolving | Add the PLA/Henna mixture to chloroform. Stir at 1000 rpm and 60 °C for 1 h until a homogeneous solution is formed |
| 4. Film casting | Pour the homogeneous mixture into a glass petri dish to create a thin film |
| 5. Drying | Allow the film to dry at room temperature for 48 h to evaporate all the chloroform |
| 6. Final preparation | Grind the dried film into a fine powder for use in subsequent experiments |
