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 ...

Biodegradable materials made from cassava starch and kenaf fibers were prepared using a solution casting method. Kenaf fibers were treated with NaOH, bleached with sodium chlorite and acetic buffer solution, and subsequently acid hydrolyzed to obtain cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs).

Kenaf is a bast fiber that offers the advantage of being biodegradable, renewable, and environmentally safe. Unfortunately, mechanically harvested (raw) kenaf fibers are coarse, brittle, and difficult to process through conventional textile and nonwoven equipment.

1. Fractions of kenaf DLA have been cleaved by metallic sodium in liquid ammonia. By GLC among the cleavage products have been found phenols the structure of which indicates the presence in the initial lignins of p-hydroxyphenyl-, guaiacyl-, and syringylpropane units with free OH groups in the α and γ positions of the side chain of the aromatic ...

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.

ABSTRACT The potential of kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) as an intercrop with okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) was studied for two years. Whole stalk fresh weight, dry core and fiber weight yields of monoculture kenaf were depressed by 19.1% to 45.9%, 14.7% to 28.0%, and 18.1%, respectively, due to intercropping with okra.

Thermal Characterization of Alkali Treated Kenaf Fibers and Kenaf-Epoxy Composites
Fibers and Polymers, 2018Chemical treatment of natural fibers is a well-defined means of mechanical property improvement in natural fiberreinforced composites. An understanding of mechanical and thermal properties in these media is essential for evaluating heat transfer, thermal degradation, and overall performance of these composites over their product lifetime. However, very

Liquefaction process of wholestalk kenaf wood at different phenol-kenaf ratio
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2014Wholestalk Kenaf were liquefied using phenol as liquefaction medium, while sulfuric acid was used as liquefaction catalyst. Kenaf liquefaction process was performed in a glass flask equipped with thermometer, condenser systems and mechanical stirrer.
