Improving the properties of kenaf reinforced polypropylene composite by alkaline treatment

Natural fibre composites are widely utilized to make composite materials like textiles, furniture, cars, and buildings. This is due to the material's qualities, which include lightweight, high strength, and low density. Considering that it can grow in a variety of climates, kenaf fibre is one o...
