Factors that affect the mechanical properties of kenaf fiber reinforced polymer: A review

Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Sciences, 2016
Kenaf fibre has emerged as an important plant cultivated in Malaysia and has been regarded as an industrial crop. The utilization of natural fibres, such as kenaf fibre, in the polymer matrix composites has, in fact, received much attention due to ...

Study of the kenaf fibres spinnability: Influence of the percentage of kenaf cotton mixture on the yarn properties

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2023
This paper presents the results of the first kenaf spinning attempt in Tunisia. Indeed, kenaf fibers are rigid and lack of cohesion that makes their spinning difficult and a challenge. So, this paper describes the possibility of spinning different blends

Almond Shell‐Derived Cellulosic Microfibres: Extraction, Characterisation and Applications in Sustainable Paper‐Based Packaging

Packaging Technology and Science, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 1231-1251, October 2026.
Cellulosic microfibres were extracted from almond shells using organosolv, soda and kraft processes, and comprehensive physicochemical, surface, thermal and morphological characterisation demonstrated their strong potential as sustainable fillers for paper‐based packaging application. ABSTRACT This study develops pathways for the valorisation of almond

Evaluation of Interface Shear Strength of Natural Kenaf Geogrid and Recycled Concrete Aggregate for Sustainable Pavement Applications

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022
In this research, a natural kenaf geogrid was used to reinforce recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) as a base/subbase material. The interface shear behavior of kenaf geogrid-reinforced RCA was investigated using a large-scale direct shear test (LSDT).

Crystallization Kinetics Study of Impact Polypropylene Copolymer with Kenaf as Nucleating Agent and Reinforcement

International Journal of Technology, 2019
Impact Polypropylene Copolymer (IPC) is an material which combines properties of isotactic Polypropylene (iPP) and its own high impact toughness. However, the crystallization kinetics might be lower than iPP, which may affect the manufacturing cycles.
