Tert‑butyl catechol/alkaline‑treated kenaf/jute polyethylene hybrid composites: impact on physico‑mechanical, thermal and morphological properties

.This study focuses on the efects of fber treatment on the mechanical, morphological, physical and thermal properties of kenaf/jute/polyethylene composites, by using alkaline-treated and raw fbers. The core of jute and kenaf fbers was chopped into shorter lengths and used for composite fabrication....
