Tensile properties of single oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) fibre

Tensile properties of single oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) fibre

The use of natural fibres obtained from plants and trees as reinforcing materials has attracted many researchers to widen their applications. Natural fibres are low cost, low density, have high specific properties, biodegradable and non-abrasive. Oil palm fibre (OPF) can be obtained directly from na...
