Physico-thermal properties of kenaf fiber/high-density polyethylene/maleic anhydride compatibilized composites

Kenaf fiber/high-density polyethylene/maleic anhydride (MA)-compatibilized composites were melt mixed in a twin-screw extruder and molded using injection molding machine. Physicothermal properties of the composites were studied at different percentages of compatibilizer contents using various techni...
