Effects of KMnO4 treatment on the Flexural, Impact, and Thermal properties of sugar palm fiber-reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane composites

Global warming has had a great impact on environmental changes since the last decade. Eco-friendly industrial products are of great importance to sustain life on earth, including using natural composites. Natural fibers used as fillers are also environmentally valuable because of their biodegradable...
