Exfoliated graphene nanoplatelets (3 phr) were incorporated into polypropylene with increasing concentration of treated and untreated kenaf flour 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 wt%, respectively, and prepared via melt-extrusion using corotating twin screw extruder. The resulting nanocomposites were character...
