Predicting the Tensile Properties of Recycled Polypropylene (r-PP)/Mengkuang Leaf Fibre (MLF) Composite using Mathematical Modelling

Mathematical modelling has long been applied to predict the tensile properties of fibre-reinforced composites due to its ability to save time and cost when compared to experimental work. In this research, the natural fibres that were studied were obtained from mengkuang leaves due to its abundance a...
