Chemical Modification of Oil Palm Mesocarp Fiber by Methacrylate Silane: Effects on Morphology, Mechanical, and Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Biodegradable Hybrid Composites

Effects of modifying oil palm mesocarp fibers (OPMF) by methacrylate silane on polylactic acid (PLA)/ polycaprolactone (PCL)/clay/OPMF hybrid composites were investigated. The composites were prepared by a melt blending technique and characterized by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and scanning el...
