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

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, 1947
SummaryKenaf oil is obtained from the seeds ofHibiscus cannabinus L. The procedure for extracting the oil is practically the same as is used in extracting cotton seed oil. The seed is ground and pressed without decortication because the episperm is strongly adherent to the kernel and also because of the peculiar shape of the seed.

Additional or alternative feedstocks are one of the major areas of interest regarding biodiesel. In this paper, the fuel properties of kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) seed oil methyl esters are comprehensively reported. This biodiesel is also relatively unique by containing small amounts of cyclic fatty acid methyl esters and of methyl epoxyoleate ...

Abstract Samples of kenaf ( Hibiscus cannabinus ) grown in Nigeria were examined to determine the kraft pulp and papermaking properties of their bast fibres. The average length of kenaf bast fibre was 2·66 mm while the kraft pulp yield was 58·1%. The strength properties of hand sheets were better than those of hardwood pulp but similar to those of ...
