Composites of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with coconut coir as the fiber and stearic acid (SA) as the coupling agent were fabricated by compression molding. Coconut coir in the form of braided fibers and whiskers were used for the study. Incorporation of the coir, buckled the composites and dec...
