Investigation of organic composition of potential plants as alternative fiber in paper making industry

Malaysia was known as a country that rich with a source of agro waste material. Three different crops had been studied which include the pineapple (Ananas Comosus) leaf, corn (Zea mays) stalk and Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum). Those crops were characterized as agro waste material in Malays...
