In this work, the effect of processing temperature of polypropylene (PP) on the viscosity and the melt flow index (MFI) is studied towards the best fabrication of PP/kenaf composites. PP with MFI grade 41 and as density value of 0.95 g/cm3 is used as a raw material. The compression moulding machine...
