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 ...

Kenaf reinforced biodegradable composite
Composites Science and Technology, 2003Abstract Mechanical properties of environmentally friendly composite made of kenaf fibre and poly- l -lactic acid (PLLA) resin was investigated. Young's modulus (6.3 GPa) and the tensile strength (62 MPa) of the kenaf/PLLA composite (fibre content=70 vol.%) were comparable to those of traditional composites. These properties were higher than those of

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 ...

Flame Spread Behavior over Kenaf Fabric, Polyester Fabric, and Kenaf/Polyester Combined Fabric
2018Flame spread behavior is one of the important topics related to fire safety engineering. It is essential to examine factors, which influence the flame spread behavior over fabrics. It is known that natural fibers exhibit a different flame spread behavior than the one of synthetic fibers.
