Effects of Milling Methods on Tensile Properties of Polypropylene/ Oil Palm Mesocarp Fibre Biocomposite

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of milling methods on tensile properties of polypropylene (PP) / oil palm mesocarp fibre (OPMF) biocomposites. Two types of mills were used; Wiley mill (WM) and disc mill (DM). Ground OPMF from each milling process was examined for its particle...
