Mechanical and physical properties of wood plastic composite made from hybrid coconut and kenaf fiber / Syahirah Nur Syazwanie Md Amin

Composite materials are materials made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties, that when combined, produce a material with characteristics different from the individual components. While a hybrid composite refers to a special type of co...
