EXPLORING “NANO FILLER” BASED ON OIL PALM ASH IN POLYPROPYLENE COMPOSITES

This study presents the utilization of oil palm ash (OPA), a siliceous material from the fiber of oil palm biomass, as a nanofiller for the development of polymer nanocomposites. Polypropylene-based polymer nano-composites reinforced with OPA along with a compatibilizer were prepared by a melt-mixin...
