Wood plastics composites (WPCs) refer to any composites that consist of natural fibers combined with thermosets or thermoplastics polymers. Natural fibers are preferably used as reinforcement in WPCs due to their availability, low cost, and low density. Currently, kenaf fiber has been used widely in...
