Mechanical and thermal properties of hybrid rice husk and coco peat filled acrylonitrile butadiene styrene polymer

The utilization of natural waste material such as rice husk (RH) and coco peat (CP) that can fill a thermoplastic matrix to produce low-cost green composites are interesting to be studied. Weak properties that exist in rice husk and coco peat can be improved through hybridization methods which can r...
