This study highlights the usage of ultrasonication method in NaOH surface modification of empty fruit bunch (EFB) fibre. Fibres were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The EFB treated by ultrasonication assisted alkali treatment sh...
