This study investigates the effects of fiber type, mesh size, fiber loading, and coupling agent on the performance of oil palm biomass (OPB) fiber composites. The dried OPB fibers were ground and screened into 63, 150, 250, 450, and 500 μm meshes for composite production. Fiber composition and fiber...
