N2 - A natural fiber is an environmentally benign material since it naturally decomposed in a short time, has decent mechanical strength properties, and is in abundance. Oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) is a natural fiber that has potency as a composite reinforcement. The amorphous components of OPEFB such as lignin and hemicellulose can be removed by chemical treatment to produce microfibrillated cellulose with high crystallinity and good compatibility towards the matrix. The combination treatment was carried out using the main reagents NaOH, H2O2, and CH3COOH. The samples were characterized using FE-SEM, FTIR, STA by TGA calculation, XRD, and contact angle test. The best fiber was obtained through the alkalinization process followed by immersion using H2O2 0.20 M and C2H4O3 (paracetic acid) as a combination of H2O2 0.50 M and CH3COOH 0.15 M. The defibrillation process produced fibers with a diameter of 9 μm, a crystallinity index of 88.7%, and an increased hydrophobicity with a contact angle of 37.472o.
