Kenaf Bast Fibers—Part II: Inorganic Nanoparticle Impregnation for Polymer Composites

The objective of this study was to investigate an inorganic nanoparticle impregnation (INI) technique to improve the compatibility between kenaf bast fibers and polyolefin matrices. The Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to examine the surface morphology of the INI-treated fibers showing th...
