An examination of particle geometry was carried out after the kenaf stems were chipped and flaked and the identified geometry was compared with that of rubberwood. The particle geometries were then clas�sified into several classes; 10 for kenaf core, 7 for kenaf bast, and 7 for rubberwood. The resu...
