Anatomical structures and fiber morphology of new kenaf varieties [PDF]

, 2009
Kenaf plant is claimed as one of the fast-growing herbaceous plants with the high potential as a fiber material or lignocellulosic material. Nine kenaf varieties i.e., Q-Ping, KK60, V12, V19, V36, V132 and NS V133 and TK were introduced recently by Taman

Water absorption analysis on impregnated kenaf with nanosilica for epoxy/kenaf composite

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2018
Due to the existence of hydroxyl group from cellulose and hemicellulose in natural fibre, it has a high tendency to absorb significant amount of water. Nanosilica has high surface area due to its nanosize, which is capable to seal the fibre's pores. In this work, impregnation technique was used to fill the pores of kenaf fibre with nanosilica in order ...
