1.1. Background of Study CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Fiber reinforced composite materials are an important class of engineering materials. They offer an outstanding mechanical properties, unique flexibility and in design capabilities and ease of fabrication [1]. Composite using high strength fiber such as carbon and glass are commonly used in broad range of applications from aerospace structure to automotive parts and from building materials to sporting goods [2]. Hence, the use of thermoplastic composites produced from synthetic polymers reinforced with natural fiber has attracted the attention of many researchers worldwide [3,4] due to the major advantages low cost, low density, low weight, good thermal and acoustic insulating properties and higher resistance to fracture [1,3,4]. Besides, utilization of natural fiber has gained attention due to the awareness to lessen the dependence on petroleum based fuels and products. Green, environmentally friendly, sustainable, renewable, biodegradable, composites from natural fiber are among the most keenly required materials nowadays [5]. In addition, thermoplastic materials currently dominate, as matrices for bio-fiber; the most commonly used thermoplastics for this purpose are polypropylene (PP), poly vinyl chloride (PVC) and also polyethylene (PE) [1] possess a major advantage that it can be recycled. 1PDF Image | Woven Kenaf Reinforced High Density Polyethylene HDPE
