Abstract
Application of chemicals to treat the surface of oil palm fibre could have effects on the characteristics of plastics when oil palm fibre and plastic composites are developed. Identification, sampling, and review of literature relating to oil palm fibre (OPF) chemical surface treatment, vis-avis the formation of OPF-plastic composites were done in this study. Chemicals relating to oil palm fibre surface treatment and their effects on OPF-plastic composite characteristics were analyzed. Some surface chemical modifiers influence specific characteristics of composites positively and better than others, while the same chemical may have influence negatively on other traits. Thus, the degree of effect of chemical treatment of OPF-plastic composite could depend on the interesting characteristics, type of chemical, the quantity of chemical and type of plastic.
