Mechanical properties of kenaf fibers and kenaf/PLA composites
Mechanics of Materials, 2008Abstract This paper describes the cultivation of kenaf and application to biodegradable composite materials. The unidirectional biodegradable composite materials were made from kenaf fibers and an emulsion-type PLA resin. Thermal analysis of kenaf fibers revealed that tensile strength of kenaf fibers decreased when kept at 180 °C for 60 min ...

Mechanical properties of nanoclay-filled kenaf and hybrid glass/kenaf fiber composites
Materials Today: Proceedings, 2021Abstract Kenaf is a natural fiber that can be used as an alternative reinforcement material due to its excellent properties such as low density and high strength. In this study, kenaf composites were developed by hybridizing with glass fiber and modified with nanoclay to enhance its mechanical properties.

Structural characterization of kenaf lignin: differences among kenaf varieties
Industrial Crops and Products, 2002Abstract The differences in lignin were studied among three kenaf varieties: Everglades (Hibiscus cannabinus L.), Aokawa-3 (H. cannabinus L.), and Mesta (H. sabdariffa L.). The bast, inner bast, and core samples were each prepared from the four different positions, top, upper middle, lower middle and bottom, of the kenaf stems. With increasing height

The main purpose of breeding new kenaf is developing new varieties that are higher yielding, resistant to pests and diseases, drought-resistant or regionally adapted to different environments and growing conditions. Kenaf breeding can be accomplished through many different techniques ranging from simply selecting plants with desirable characteristics ...
