Oil Palm Frond (OPF) or Coir Fiber (CF): Effect of particle sizes on the tensile properties and morphology of natural fiber reinforced HDPE

Oil palm fiber (OPF) and coir fiber (eF) were compared as the reirforang agent in HDPEthermoplastic. Mechanical properties ojOPF.HDPE and CF-HDPE are studied by investigating the tensile properties ofthe sample. Primarily, (he samples were dried and blended by using Brabender Plasti-Corder at temper...
