The polymer was blended from tapioca residue and corn starch with 30 percent of glycerol by weight, which was prepared by a compression molding process at 135oC for 8 minutes. The formulation was monitored at 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 percent of the tapioca residue. The characterization provided mechanical properties, chemical composition and morphology. In the research, previous tapioca residue exhibited different functional groups in comparison with the current tapioca residue, which the previous tapioca residue consisted of high fiber content. A higher fiber content could improve the modulus and elongation to break dramatically, but it decreased the tensile strength. On the other hand, the fiber obtained the rough surface on the polymer matrix. In addition, the excess fiber could appear on the fiber aggregate.
