Fiber characterisation of oil palm empty fruit bunch OPEFB)enzymme treatment and ultrasound treatment

Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (OPEFB) is a major waste which is generously abundant in Malaysia.As the age of composite material is at hand,much effort has been put into research of new fiber based fillers for polymeric composite material. This research focuses on characterizing the abilities of laccas...
