Empty fruit bunch (EFB) fibers as reinforcement in polypropylene

Empty fruit bunch (EFB) fibers as reinforcement in polypropylene

In this work, EFB fibers / Polypropylene matrix were prepared using hot pressing tool at 3 different ratio (5%, 10%, and 15% EFB/PP). Tensile test and impact test were done according to ASTM standard, ASTM D638 and ASTM D256, respectively. The results from tensile test and impact test showed that th...
