The research done in this study has proven the ability to successfully fabricate kenaf-polypropylene composites into sheet form. Kenaf fiber used was in form of flour or wood powder. The PP/kenaf composite shows the increase the impact strength at 10% to 30% by weight of the polypropylene powder. The use of coupling agent Maleic Anyhdride enabled successful fiber-matrix adhesion and increased the mechanical property of the PP/kenaf composite 2008-02 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/2619/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/2619/1/2619.pdf text en public degree Universiti Teknologi MARA Faculty of Applied Sciences Sa'ad, Siti Zaleha (Assoc.
