Chemically Retted Kenaf Fibers
Sen'i Gakkaishi, 2005 Alkali-retting was applied to kenaf bast ribbons and the mechanical properties and the structure of the retted fibers were investigated. In order to produce the fibers with preferable surface smoothness, the retting should be made at the NaOH concentration higher than 4 %. The tensile properties, however, showed a maximum at the NaOH concentration of 1

Physiological roles of lignins – tuning cell wall hygroscopy and biomechanics
New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 6, Page 2674-2706, December 2025.Summary Lignins constitute the second most abundant carbon‐storing biopolymers in the biosphere. These phenolic polymers accumulate in different concentrations, compositions, and localisations within and between cell wall layers and cell types. Lignins were acquired during plant terrestrialisation 450 million years ago, and the diversification of their
