Composites from polypropylene (PP) reinforced with oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPENFB) fibre

The use of natural fibers obtained from plants and trees are reinforcing materials has attracted many researcher to widen their applications. Natural fibers are low cost, low density, have high specific properties, biodegradable and non-abrasive. Oil palm fiber (OPF) can be obtained directly from na...
