Structures and Performances of Simultaneous Ultrasound and Alkali Treated Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch Fiber Reinforced Poly(lactic acid) Composites

In this study composites were produced using extrusion followed by injection molding with alkali and ultrasound treated oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) fibers with poly(lactic acid). The fiber content, alkali solution concentration, exposing time and treatment temperature were optimized. The optimi...
