Design and fabrication of knee pad
In this study, there are five natural fibers that is kenaf fiber, coconut pulp fiber, pineapple leaf fiber, palm oil fiber, and saw dust with two additional hybrid materials that is thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) mixed with kenaf fiber, and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) mixed with pineapple leaf fibe...
