Kenaf Bast Fiber Treatment for Nonwoven Fabrics.
Sen'i Gakkaishi, 2001 Kenaf fiber has been traditionally used in the cordage, sack, pulp and paper industries, but few commercial attempt has ever been made to utilize its potential as a major biodegradable raw material for nonwoven manufacture because of coarseness and stiffness of the fiber bundles. In this study, NaOH and softeners were used to refine the fibers.

A novel process of nanocellulose extraction from kenaf bast
Materials Research Express, 2018 Kenaf is a plant which grows fast and has good environment adaptability. It is one of the most traditional natural cellulosic fiber plants in the word. However, the high lignin content and small fiber size block its application on textile fiber production and bioenergy refinery.
