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.

Properties of kenaf core binderless particleboard reinforced with kenaf bast fiber-woven sheets
Journal of Wood Science, 2005 Kenaf composite panels were developed using kenaf bast fiber-woven sheets as top and bottom surfaces, and kenaf core particles as core material. During board manufacture, no binder was added to the core particles, while methylene diphenyldiisocyanate resin was sprayed to the kenaf bast fiber-woven sheet at 50 g/m2 on a solids basis. The kenaf composite

Characterization of Control and Chemically Modified Kenaf Fiber
Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022 Natural fibers are very flexible materials; their properties vary with physical structure and chemical composition. Chemical treatment of fiber can chemically modify, clean the fiber surface, increase the surface roughness and stop the moisture ...
