Physical and mechanical properties of thermoplastic composite from oil palm trunk / Jamaludin Kasim …[et al.]

Oil palm (Elaeis Quieensis Jacq) particles were used as fillers in the manufacture of polypropylene composite. The oil palm particles were separated from the fibre strand using a vibratory screener and dried in an oven for 48 hours. Filler loading of 10%, 30% and 50% of polypropylene by weight w...
