Characterization of Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch and Glass Fibre Reinforced Recycled Polypropylene Hybrid Composites

The effects of hybridization of glass fibre on oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) and recycled polypropylene-based composites are described in this paper. The compounding process involved extrusion followed by injection moulding technique to prepare the samples for characterizations. Fibre loading wer...
