The effects of alkaline treatment on the oil residue, thermal properties and surface morphology of oil palm Mesocarp fiber

Oil palm mesocarp fiber (MF) holds the potential to be used as a filler in polymeric biocomposite systems. To further improve the dispersion and interfacial adhesion between the fiber and polymer matrix, MF was treated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) at different concentrations (1%, 3%, 5%, 8% and 10%)...
