The effects of secondary filler on the impact behaviour of hybrid polymer composites / Anizah Kalam

Oil Palm fruit bunch fibre (OPFB) derived from empty fruit bunch (EFB) that are abundantly available in Malaysia as oil palm mill waste, is worthy to explore its capability as filler in composites. Previous work [1-2] showed that the addition of PPnanoclay into OPFB/PP composites has improved its te...
