Physical properties of abaca (Musa textilis nee) fibre reinforced high impact polystyrene (HIPS) composites

The physical properties by natural fibre have a great importance, specifically in the structural of natural fibre which reinforces matrix. Response surface methodology with Box-Behnken (BB) design of experiment was utilized to study water absorption and melt flow index (MFI) of abaca fibre reinforce...
