Compositional and morphological changes of chemical modified oil palm mesocarp fiber by alkaline bleaching and silane coupling agents

In this study, the effects of chemical modifications of oil palm mesocarp fiber (OPMF) via bleaching, silane coupling agents, and combinations of the two on the composition and morphology of OPMF were investigated. The chemically modified OPMF was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectros...
