Abstract Oil palm fibers have been developed as reinforcement in the composite. These can be produced from fruit, trunk, and frond of oil palm. In this review, fruit fiber for reinforcing composite was focused. consist empty bunch (EFB) mesocarp (MF) fibers. The chemical composition characteristics are described. Furthermore, mechanical properties reported to related surface treatment EFB MF Ap...

<em>The purpose of this study was to determine the critical length palm fiber, kenaf pineapple agave and coconut fiber with NaOH immersion treatment. This effect treatment on fiber. research is an experimental exploratory research. The independent variables in were dependent variable length. To find using single tensile test pull out test. data obtainde from results are then analyzed form...

In this study, oil palm mesocarp fiber (OPMF) was treated with superheated steam (SHS) in order to modify its characteristics for biocomposite applications. Treatment was conducted at temperatures 190-230 °C for 1, 2 and 3 h. SHS-treated OPMF was evaluated for its chemical composition, thermal stability, morphology and crystallinity. OPMF treated at 230 °C exhibited lower hemicellulose content ...

This study presents the utilization of oil palm ash (OPA), a siliceous material from the fiber of oil palm biomass, as a nanofiller for the development of polymer nanocomposites. Polypropylene-based polymer nano-composites reinforced with OPA along with a compatibilizer were prepared by a melt-mixing technique, using a double screw extruder. Variations in the mechanical, morphological, and ther...

The palm oil industry is the leading source of waste fibers. disposal fibers by burning or dumping causes environmental issues such as emission CO2 and a diminution in soil fertility. Natural fiber reuse construction materials concrete, mortar adobe bricks reinforcement provides possible eco-friendly solution for management. Palm flower (POFL) obtained from empty fruit bunches (POFR) are two im...

To improve the pre-cracking behavior and post peak strength of concrete composites, a new variety natural fiber called Fish Tail Palm Fibers was used as micro reinforcement in concrete. (FTPF) are completely renewable resources available abundance, many parts country including India. Three different volume fractions, (0.1%, 0.2% 0.3%, three lengths fibers (10 mm, 20 mm 30 mm) were chosen parame...

Abstract Composite materials based on natural fibers are increasing in demand various sectors of industry because their interesting specific properties. This work is a contribution to the valorization, plant from agricultural plantations Cameroon, fiber cement mortar (FCM). paper studies influence addition oil palm mesocarp (OPMF) physical (water absorption, density and compactness) mechanical ...

Date palm, the most important tree in Saudi Arabia and Middle East, produces a huge amount of waste yearly form fibrous materials, dried fruits, seeds. Such is great source excellent degradable biomass that can be used numerous applications as natural fiber composites, active carbon precursors, even nano-featured sheets. That rich resource burned on date palm farms due to lack effective process...
