Reinforced polypropylene/empty fruit bunch (EFB) fiber composites were prepared through extrusion and injection moulding. Maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAPP) and CESA-light PPADOL 12020 (PDOL) were used as compatibilizer and UV stabilizer respectively. The samples were subjected to acceler...
