Production and Characterization of Insulator Material From Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB)

Malaysia is the largest producer and exporter of product based on palm oil. They are grown for the oil but only 10% will be extracted to the oil and the rest will become biomass. Based on this current situation it make oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) is readily available in Malaysia in large quanti...
