Abstract

Malaysia is a major oil palm producer that creates million tons of oil palm fiber (OPF) by-products annually. This has urged researchers to study the applicability of OPF as substitute to conventional fiber in polymer matrix composites. However, it isi compatible to reinforce hydrophilic OPF into hydrophobic polymer matrix.
