Reinforcement of both fibrous and particulate materials can improve composite properties for various applications, such as biomedical applications. The alkali-treated kenaf fibers and (SiO2, bentonite, and CaCO3) microparticles 400 mesh in size reinforce the epoxy matrix for hybrid composites. The b...
