The combination of natural fibers in petroleum plastic soften industrial footprints on the environment. Plastic matrix can be filled with renewable resources leading to a greener composite that is biodegradable. This paper focuses on particulate kenaf filler modification and its affects on the properties of polypropylene, processing techniques and the use of particle size filler for improving linkages between fiber and polymeric matrixes.
