The comparison of tensile and impact properties between the fiber extracted from Malaysia’s oil palm plantation wastes and residues and wood fiber that are going to be used as reinforcing agent in polymer composite materials is the main focus of this study. For that purpose, 10 wt.% and 25 wt.% of M...
