Composite of the recycled polypropylene reinforced with oil palm empty fruit bunch

This study is about the composite of recycled polypropylene reinforced with empty fruit bunch (EFB) fiber chopped into different length. The optimum weight percentage of EFB that gives higher strength and the effect of coupling agent on the composite are determined. The composite is prepared using E...
