Kenaf composites have a high strength-to-weight ratio, but weak fiber-matrix interface bonding limits their automotive use. To address this, a novel technique was developed to fabricate multiphase composites using graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs), kenaf fibers, and an epoxy matrix. The composites were...
