Abstract Natural fibre as a reinforcing agent has been widely used in many industrial applications. Nevertheless, several
factors need to be considered, such as the size and weight percentage of the fibre used in binding. Using fused
deposition modelling (FDM), this factor was investigated by varying the size of natural fibre as the responding
variable with a fixed weight percentage of kenaf fibre. The process of modifying the natural fibre in terms of size
might increase the dispersion of kenaf fibre in the polymer matrix and increase the adhesion bonding between the
fibre and matrix of… More >
