Effect of UV radiation on degradation of durian skin fibre composite

Durian skin fibre (DSF) reinforced high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composite was fabricated by melt-blending and then compression moulded. As DSF is polar and hydrophilic in nature, while HDPE is non-polar and hydrophobic, thus the adhesion between them is low. Therefore, maleic anhydride-grafted-p...
