Development of Cu Nanoparticle Loaded Oil Palm Fibre Reinforced Nanocomposite

Functionalized copper nanoparticles (FCuNPs) have been synthesized by chemical reduction method and polyvinyl al- cohol (PVA) performed as a stabilizer in that medium. Analysis observed that the average size of the synthesized FCuNPs was 3.5 nm. The obtained FCuNPs were loaded in the oil palm empty...
