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.

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 ...

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

Effect of Water Absorption on Mechanical Properties of Kenaf and Kenaf Hybrid Polyester
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2013Natural fibre composite materials have been highlighted in recent years as they have the potential to mitigate the pollution and global warming. Kenaf is a high yield and fast growing plant. Kenaf does not require a lot of energy in production. Furthermore, the kenaf plant can absorb carbon dioxide when breathing.

A study of the phospholipids of kenaf
Chemistry of Natural Compounds, 1976The fatty-acid composition of the combined phospholipids and also of the main and two minor components of the phospholipids have been studied. On the basis of the results of acid hydrolysis and also IR spectroscopy, the glycerophospholipid structure of the main components of the total material has been confirmed.

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.

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.

Ammoniation of kenaf tops prior to dehydration
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1974AbstractThe leafy tops of kenaf plants grown as a paper pulp crop were analysed to assess their potential value as a feedstuff. Procedures were investigated for incorporating ammonia nitrogen into the material to enhance its nutritive value. Nitrogen thus fixed was stable during subsequent hot‐air drying of the product.
