PLA and PP Composites with Enzyme Modified Oil Palm Fibre: A Comparative Study

The PLA and PP composites reinforced with oil palm fibres were fabricated using a high speed mixer followed by an injection moulding process with a fibre load of 30 wt%. Prior to composite production, oil palm fibres were modified by a mixture of enzymes. To observe the changes of the fibres surface...
