In this study, cellulose nanofiber (CNF) was produced from oil palm biomass (OPB) by using a wet disk mill (WDM). It was exhibited that the produced CNF had diameter in the range of 10-30 nm. When blended with low density polyethylene (LDPE) at 3 wt% CNF, the biocomposites resulted in an increment i...
