Mechanical properties of kenaf fibers and kenaf/PLA composites

Mechanics of Materials, 2008
Abstract 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 ...

Potential of using multiscale kenaf fibers as reinforcing filler in cassava starch-kenaf biocomposites

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2013
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).

Characteristics of kenaf fibre/epoxy composites subjected to thermal degradation

open access: yesPolymer Degradation and Stability, 2013
Kenaf fibres are receiving much attention in the natural fibre composite industry due to its potential as polymer reinforcements. However, like all natural fibres, kenaf fibres have lower thermal resistance as compared to synthetic fibres.

Structural characterization of kenaf lignin: differences among kenaf varieties

Industrial Crops and Products, 2002
Abstract 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 Breeding of Kenaf

2013
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 ...

Lipids of kenaf wastes

Chemistry of Natural Compounds, 1986
The total phospholipids of kenaf wastes have been characterized qualitatively and quantitatively. Kenaf wastes may serve as an additional source of raw material for obtaining the total phospholipids and a homogeneous PC.
