Characterization dataset of oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) fibers - Natural reinforcement/filler for materials development.

ABSTRACT: Natural fibers used as reinforcements or fillers for materials development greatly affect properties and performance of end-use applications. As a consequence of conditioning processes such as grinding and sieving, average fiber length varies significantly. It is thus necessary to estimate the length as statistical data distribution rather than a single mean value. This approach implies length measurement of a significant number of fibers; however, a very high number of data points requires not only long-time frames but also significative amount of work. To address these issues, this article details a facile methodology to measure the length of a large number of natural fibers of oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) together with a statistical analysis to verify the correspondence between th
