“…Utilization of natural fibers in composite preparation offer several advantages compared to those of synthetic fibers which include low density, low cost, renewability, and biodegradability [4,5]. Natural fibers like kenaf [3,6], jute [2,5], coir [7], silk [8], bamboo [9], sisal [10], and oil palm empty fruit bunch [11][12][13] have been extensively studied for fabrication of polymer/fiber composites. Rozman et al [11] reported that incorporation of the OPEFBF into polypropylene matrix resulted in an improved tensile modulus but reduced in tensile strength, elongation at break, and impact strength with increasing fiber content.…”
