Mechanical properties of hybridized kenaf/chitosan fibres reinforced polyethylene biocomposites

In this research, natural fibre such as kenaf core fibre (KCF) was used as filler for preparation of the biocomposites. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) has been selected as a polymer matrix for preparation of the biocomposites due to its low production cost. Besides that, chitosan was used as second...
