Polypropylene (PP) is very potential as a technical composite matrix since it has good mechanical properties. And also, so many PP wastes are found in sheet forms that make them easy to be produced as thermoplastic composite. Kenaf as natural fiber is also potential as composite reinforcement, but t...
