Effect of grafting on properties of oil palm empty fruit bunch fiber reinforced polycaprolactone biocomposites

Biocomposites of polycaprolactones (PCL) and oil palm empty fruit bunch fiber (OPEFB) were prepared and characterized. In order to improve the mechanical properties the biocomposites, the OPEFB was modified by grafting with methyl methacrylate (MMA). The modification of fiber was carried out at 70°C...
