The effect on tensile and surface morphological properties of oil palm empty fruit bunch fibre through hot water treatment

The utilisation of Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) fibre, a significant crop in Malaysia, is a viable option for incorporation into cement-based products due to the substantial amount of waste it generates. Nevertheless, the presence of extractives has a significant impact on the performance of...
