Properties of wood plastic composite from different oil palm trunk region / Mohd Azri Zainudin

Plastic composite are being expanded currently. It constructed by composition with wood fiber and plastic. This research is to determine about the mechanical and physical properties of plastic composite from 3 different regions of OPT as filler. The small clear specimen of oil palm trunk plastic composite was created and separated with 4 testing that bending, tensile, thickness swelling and water absorption. Outer region of OPT give higher result in mechanical properties such as bending, tensile and test compared. to another region. Besides that, physical properties give inverse result from mechanical properties.
