Mechanical Properties and Dielectric Constant of Coconut Coir-Filled Propylene

Natural fiber filler (coconut coir) has an outstanding potential as reinforcement in thermoplastics. The objective of this study is to evaluate the optimum parameters of producing fiber filler composites using coconut coir filler. Experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of three inde...
