Effects of Ultrasound Treatment and Impact Modifier on Mechanical Properties of Oil Palm Fiber Reinforced Poly (Lactic) Acid Composites

In this study, composites were prepared from ultrasound treated oil palm empty fruit bunch fiber (EFB) and poly (lactic) acid (PLA) through extrusion and injection moulding. For better compatibility between fiber and matrix, the fiber was delignified through ultrasound treatment and the treated fi...
