Table 5

Tensile properties of the kenaf fiber/PP composites.

Digestion temperatures (°C)	Tensile strength (MPa)			Tensile modulus (GPa)
	Ave.*	Stdev.*	LSD Test	Ave.	Stdev.	LSD Test
80°C	42.44	7.12	A	1.57	0.11	A
110°C	47.35	2.20	A	1.53	0.09	A
130°C	45.20	3.57	A	1.67	0.12	A
160°C	46.77	3.43	A	1.70	0.20	A

*Ave.: average of four samples. Stdev.: standard deviation. Means with the different letter are significantly different at 𝛼=0.05. Average of 27 samples. Means with the same letter are not significantly different at 𝛼=0.05.
