In this report, rules of mixture (ROM) and rule of hybrid mixtures (RoHM) were utilized to predict the mechanical properties of kenaf/glass fiber reinforced polypropylene short random oriented hybrid composites material. Three hybrid composition were studied with total fiber contents 30 vol%, 40 vol...
