Hybrid composites were fabricated by compounding process with varying the relative weight fraction of oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) and coir fibers to assess the effect of hybridization of oil palm EFB with coir fibers in polypropylene (PP) matrix. The mechanical and morphological properties of o...
